The LAN NIC should not have a default Gateway. The WAN NIC will have the default gateway. Your local computers will use the LAN NIC of this computer as their default gateway. By putting a second default gateway that does not point to the Internet, will only cause your packets not to leave your local net.

I am trying to set it up as a domain controler. I have the first nic getting ip from isp via dhcp. On the LAN side I have a router and 2 boxes. How do I set the LAN side up? I am thinking that is nic0 (WANside) has ip from isp. nic1 (LAN side) say 192.168.0.2 should be set as this: ip: 192.168.0.2 netmask: 255.255.255.0 gw: 192.168.0.1 router address is 192.168.0.1 netmask: 255.255.255.0 gw: Either nic0 address or isp gateway(thinking ip address of nic0) ? nic0 (wan) ip: from isp netmask: from isp gw: from isp -- --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss --- [ This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Phoenix Internet ] [ Phoenix Internet http://www.phoenixinternet.net ] --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
