how to connect two 2 comps with 2 NICs each

by kruczer . Updated 16 years, 1 month ago

Hello there

My situation is as follows.
Computer A has 2 NICs configured for 2 different subnets, let’s say NIC 1A has 192.168.0.2 / GW 192.168.0.1 (router) and NIC 2A has 10.10.10.10.
Computer B has similar configuration with NIC 1B 192.168.1.2 / GW 192.168.1.1 (router) and NIC 2B 10.10.10.5.
Now, Computer A gets IP from router as well as some other comps. I was able to create a route through this router to reach IP 10.10.10.10 from the other computer on the 192.168.0.x network, however the connection with 10.10.10.5 is dead. My guess is I need to route something on Computer A. The question is what and where as I tried to add different combinations to route tables on Computer A but to no avail.
Both computers A and B run on windows server 2003 sbs, by the way. And I’m able to make a successful ping between Computer A and Computer B.

To ilustrate my desired connection
CompX (192.168.0.x) -> (192.168.0.1) router (192.168.0.1) -> (192.168.0.2) CompA (10.10.10.10) -> (10.10.10.5) CompB

Thanks for any hints and help. It will be much appreciated.

Kind regards,
Lukasz
