Hi. I have setup a PRivate LAN at work using the IP 192.168.1.x . The windows 2000 server has a IP of 192.168.1.1 - installed AD, DNS and now i'd like to be able to remotely access the server and the client connected to the private LAN.
My office IP credentials are 10.1.144.xxx and 10.1.145.xxx . I am able to add a route as follows to my work desktop and ping the 192.168.1.1 (which is my server).
route add 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0 10.1.144.240
Upon adding this route to my work desktop, I SOMETIMES am able to ping my server residing on private LAN.
I installed Windows 2000 Router (RRAS) on the Private LAN (192.168.1.1) as well and set the default gateway to 192.168.1.1 on both the client and the server. The problem is after adding the route (as shown above) to my work desktop, I SOMETIMES am able to ping the server and the client. Why are the connections so unstable???? Where am I going wrong? SOmetimes I am able to ping the server but cannot ping the client or vice versa!! What the hell is going on over here? Can anyone suggest PLEASE? Do I really got to have 2 NIC's? If so, then what would be the IP of the second NIC and hwo would I configure RRAS or the routing tables?
