route traffic between 2 subnets windows 2003 server 2

[patrichek]

Hi All,
I have 2 nics on one win 2k3 server and would like to route traffic between 192.168.1.0 and 192.168.2.0

nic1
ip 192.168.1.240
sm 255.255.255.0
d/g blank

nic2
ip 192.168.2.2
sm 255.255.255.0
d/g 192.168.2.1

from my laptop my ip:

192.168.2.10
sm 255.255.255.0
d/g 192.168.2.1

I'm unable to ping 192.168.1.0 what am i missing? I don't know how to route the traffic on the server between the subnets.

thanks!

If your laptop is plugged into NIC-2 with a x-over cable you should be able to ping NIC-2. In order to ping NIC-1 from the NIC-2 you will need an entry in your server's router table.

Hi,
thanks for responding. I'm able to ping nic 2 from my laptop but not nic 1, which is my goal. I want to be able to route traffic from nic2 to nic1.

thanks

The easy way is to just change your subnet mask.

I highly recommend Daryl's TCP/IP Primer.

route add 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.1

D'oh, wasn't paying attention. Please ignore my first post.

This won't work, as he has his laptop gateway set to 192.168.2.1, while the interface on 2K3 server is set to 192.168.2.2, so the device at 192.168.2.1 will be doing the routing, NOT the 2K3 server.

Hi All,
I did get my setup to work, here' what i did:

RRAS Windows 2003 server
NIC1
IP 192.168.1.240
sm 255.255.255.0
dg blank

NIC2
IP 192.168.2.254
sm 255.255.255.0
dg 192.168.2.1


Router1
subnet 192.168.1.0
route added 192.168.1.0 sm 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.254

Router2
Subnet 192.168.2.1
route added 192.168.2.0 sm 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.240

thanks
