Logging into NW5.0 server through Windows 2000 router

[rudolphjk]

I have set up a test PC, running Windows 2000 server (multi-homed). I set it up as a router to route/forward both TCP/IP & IPX between 2 subnets. Subnet1 (NIC1) is the local subnet, which the Windows PC serves DHCP addresses to clients on the subnet. Subnet2 (NIC2) is a "backbone" switch that connects ALL multi-homed NW servers & the email server. Both protocols *seem* to be working (windows 2000 says they are, and shows that it's forwarding both protocols), but any PC clients on Subnet1 with NW clients installed on them cannot seem to see any of the NW5.0 servers beyond the Windows 2000 router when trying to login to Netware. Web browsing works, as does window's workgroup browsing to the different subnets.
Has anyone heard of this problem before? Essentially, trying to route packets through a windows 2000 multihomed PC to login to Netware file servers. Client is on Subnet1, and NW servers connected to Subnet2 by a switch/hub shared by all servers (Windows & NW).

You need to go into your network card settings for each NIC and set an Internal Network number. By default it is 00000000 which means it doesn't route. If you give it a number, it should start routing.

You may also need to hardcode the frame type and segment number as well.
