Route Add to connect to different IP range

[scriggs]

I have a server setup as 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.000

I want to use an existing router setup as 192.168.3.1 255.255.255.128

How can I make this work.

From googling I have come across route add but do not know how to make it work?

Thanks

what kind of router?

The router is a cheap Belkin Router.

you will need a real router... because if you add a route it will need to be "via" something.. and none of you other devices will route.

a cisco for example would need to have an interface with the 192.168.1.x network and another with 192.168.3.x. the rotuer would then "route" between those interfaces.

the belkin will not have that ability...

Been reading round a little bit, could I put a second network card in the server connected to router segment. Then add a route command on the server?

 

[plshlpme]

is it a windows server or a unix based server?
im not sure its that easy to make windows do routing...

 

[scriggs]

Yes, the server is Windows.

the route command on your server would allow that server to talk to that network.. but nobody else would route through your server... that is what a router is for.

You can acheive this using RRAS (routing and remote access). You basically want add a second nework card and configure the RRAS server as a LAN router. From there you can add static routes to get your packets going back and forth.

What are you actually trying to acheive though? What does the belkin router connect to? If there are no other hosts in the 192.168.3.1 255.255.255.128 subnet then you can just change the IP address of the inside interface of the Belkin router to a valid address in you 192.168.0.1/24 subnet.
