Routing between two network cards in one server.

[richmacomber]

I have a Windows 2000 server with two NICs installed.
I also have a Windows NT Exchange Server with one NIC.

One NIC in the Windows 2000 Server has an IP address of 192.168.0.2 and is attached to a 10/100 switch in our front office.

The other NIC in the Windows 2000 Server has an IP address of 192.168.0.5 and is attached to a 10/100 switch in our back office.

The Windows NT Server NIC has an IP address of 192.168.0.1 and is attached to the 10/100 switch in the front office.

I can ping 192.168.0.1 from the Windows 2000 server.

I have workstations attached to the back office switch with the same IP scheme mentioned above. (192.168.0.10, 192.168.0.11, etc.)

I can ping 192.168.0.5 and 192.168.0.2 from the workstations but I cannot ping 192.168.0.1

Anyone know how to route from one NIC to another? [sig][/sig]

First, one reason behind routing is to go from one network to another / subnet to another.

Your IP scheme has all NICs on the same subnet 192.168.0.xxx. Which means there is no routing. Your setup would be more like teaming the NICs for better performance or link redundancy.

If you want to route the two NICs should be on different subnets... ex. front office 192.168.0.2 and back office 192.168.1.2. [sig]<p>Doug<br><a href=mailto:dxd_2000@yahoo.com>dxd_2000@yahoo.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br> [/sig]

And don't forget to enable IP routing also if you want to route between subnets.

Funny think, win2k wants you to hack the registry to enable the iprouting.
