2 NICs, external IP address and control [ip addy] [remote desktop]
Q: Heres whats going on: 5 ip addy
I have with my ISP. 4 computers have their own unique IP address when accessing the internet.
However I would like remote desktop of the computer from the network (using the Internet is slow!), So I installed an extra network card on each computer .
So I have 4 computers directly to the modem, and then also run directly to the router (the fifth ip) 0.
now works fine / fast on the network, but when I access the Internet they use the computers access to the router, and IP routers, which is a nono.
I understand that the computers are still beyond the unique IP addresses, but they are not servers, so thats useless.
Is there anyway to force this on a computer specific network to access the Internet using a specific network and when accessing the network?
Thanks so much for your time!

Re:Havn't tried it, but this makes perfect sense. I'm sure it'll work, and I'll let the thread know if it doesn't. Thanks everyone!

Re:You'll need TCP/IP for those services. However, I believe you want to remove the default gateway from the locally connected NIC's, not the ones connected to the Internet ports.

Re:Will this still keep Windows Remote Desktop (xp) and RealVNC accessible? Will a network addy such as 192.168.0.101 be routed correctly if only NETBEUI is enabled on the internal NIC?

Re:You could tinker with the routing table, but there's an easier way.
Just use only NETBEUI protocol on the NIC connected to the router, and TCP/IP only on the NIC connected directly. Bind File & Print Sharing only to the NETBUI protocol on the one NIC. File sharing will be handled by NETBEUI and Internet access will be directed to the TCP/IP.Related posts
