Multiple TCP/IP Settings with WIn98

[denright]

I am working with a small peer-to-peer network with all PC's running Win98. They have proprietary software that runs on internal IP settings such as 10.14.19.103

I set up an Internet connection using a DSL gateway/router but obviously, to use it the PC's have to have IP settings compatible to the router such as 192.168.1.103.

The problem is that program updates can't be run with the proprietary software unless the internal IP addresses are in place.

Is there any way to attach 2 IP addresses to each machine? I heard that you can do it by setting up separate hardware profiles and specifying the one you want to use at start up but I haven't had success with that yet.

What kind of DSL Gateway Router are you using? Is it passive (no configuration), or do it have multiple Ethernet Ports that each have a TCPIP Address.

If you have something like a NeTopia DSL Router, you can configure the unit to have an outside TCPIP address (ISP Addressing) and inside adressing (Private TCPIP Addressing).

Is there a Firewall involved here? A Firewall would be able to do the same thing! And... if you are not using some kind of Firewall with a constantly open connection to the Internet, I would recommend you buy one, quick!!!

Good Luck!

Hi

Win 98 is not able to support mutiple IP addresses on a single NIC.

When you want to that you would need NT 4 WS, Server, Win2000 or XP.

Hope this Helps
