HELP using 2 NICS to connect DSL to LAN

by trinianouk . Updated 20 years, 4 months ago

Hi,
My network uses static ip addresses and I now have a DSL connection. The DSL connection uses a dish to connect to the ISP i.e. its wireless and has a built-in router.

I have a PC (XP PRO) with 2 NICS and a proxy server to share the internet connection.
Setup is as follows:
NIC 1 LAN – Ip 192.168.32.12, Gateway 192.168.32.12, DNS 0.0.0.0.0.0
NIC 2 DSL IP 192.168.1.3 Gateway 192.168.1.1
DNS Prim 209.168.145.32
DNS Alter 216.168.111.34
Proxy IP address: 192.168.32.12

The connection works fine for a few hours, but then the DSL connection stops working intermittently.Its like all of a sudden the PC doesn’t know whwhere to route the packets or which NIC to use.

If i do a repair on that connection it works…then it may stop again during the day.
When it stops the status says connected on both connections and I can ping the router on the dish, however the web pages won’t show up..until I do a repair or disable then enable the DSL connection.
The LAN 1 connection works fine throught.

Is something wrong with met TCP/IP setup??? I can see the clients trying to access web pages on the proxy server…but they wont show up in the browser. My ISP says its my setup thats the problem…

Please help!

Jason
