i'm having a w2k server in office to which i am connecting through a leased line in my home. i am using terminal service for the connection. it is working good. now if i added 1 more computer in my home. i am using two nic in one pc which is connected to the office. with ips say 100.10.1.8 which is office connection, & 100.10.1.9 for the new computer connection. new computers ip is 100.10.1.15 the problem is that from the new system i am not able to use terminal, old one works cleanly. server ip is 100.10.1.0. the ips 100.10.1.8 and 100.10.1.0 is given by a third party who provides the connection. is there any way i can solve it.

Best solution is to get a home router with built in hub and connect both pc's to the hub. The main problem is that you are trying to connect through the old pc to the TS when you are in the same network, this could probably be done if 2000 server was loaded on the old PC then you could config RIP but the new PC would have to be in a separate network ie 100.10.20.xxx then RIP would work to forward the packets to the 100.10.1.xxx network. Far easier to install a inexpensive home router/4 port hub to connect both PC's to the leased line, you may in fact only need a 4 port hub. Need to know more about the 'leased' line hardware to be sure, the office could have the line configure only to allow a specfic IP address to have access.

ctmoore is correct BUT....check with your service provider before you purchase a HUB....if you're only allowed 1 IP address then you cannot use a HUB, you'll have to buy a ROUTER. I just went throught the same thing, my provider only allows 1 IP address so I couldn't connect my home network (3 stations) using a HUB unless I paid them $5.00 a month for the extra IP address. It's cheaper in the long run to buy a Router AND it also comes with a built-in firewall....

good luck

i solved the problem. what i did installed a proxy software to route the connection to the new system. now it is working perfectly.
