Hi,
Our company internal network is on the 192.168.16.0 subnet. We are in the process building a tcpClient application which will connect to a 3rd party vendor via a private point-to-point frame relay connection. The private network is on the 192.168.64.0 subnet. We will access this tcpClient application via a web based application.
The webserver will recieve requests, contact the private server, get a response and send it back to the client. The webserver has IPs on the internal and private network (it essentially is straddling both networks). I have added a static route on the webserver which should send all requests for a certain IP to the private network.
>>route add xxx.xxx.xxx.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 192.168.64.1
(192.168.64.1 is the private gateway)
From the webserver, I can successfully ping the private 3rd party server.(tracert goes through the private gateway). But, when I run the tcpClient app,it tries to connect via the internal gateway (with the static route, I would think all connections to that particular IP would go through the private gateway). Why would pinging route properly but the client not? Is there anyway I can tell the server to go to the private gateway when trying to access a certain IP?
I have been running a packet sniffer and the tcpClient always contacts the default gateway (internal network), I want it to contact the private gateway.
Hopefully this make sense.....
