We have a client who has networked their computers. On one of the computers, they are planning to put another NIC and then connect it to a hub which has another 3 computers conneted to it. They have assigned IP addresses to the networked computer 10.159.1.1 to 10.159.1.10.
The comp with the IP 10.159.1.10 will be the one that has another NIC and connected to the hub which has 3 comps connected to it. What should be the IP addresses, subnet mask, protocols etc that should be used for the 3 comps? To make it clear, I have a diagram of this setup but could not attach this here. I can send it to anyone who is interested to know just email me so I can send you a copy. Thanks.

Just use TCP/IP as the networking protocol, subnet mask you can just use 255.0.0.0, their ip addresses can be 10.159.1.* * being any number not used from 0-255 by another PC

I think it would be better if you see the diagram for yourself so you can understand what information I need. Send me your email address. It will be easier if you see the diagram.

Thanks for your reply.

Of the system with 2 NIC's?

What is it being used for?
Why does it have to have 2 nic's in it.

All 4 machines can coexist just peacefully
on the same hub/switch, all residing on the same subnet:

10.159.1.0/24

Write a list of IP's like this:

10.159.1.0/24 (/24 is 255.255.255.0)
-------------
.1 computer_name
.2 computer_name
.3 computer_name
.4 computer_name
~~~
.10 computer_name
.11 computer_name
.12 computer_name
.13 computer_name
~~~

The only things you need is:
File and Print Sharing
Client for MS networks
TCP/IP

FYI-
2 NIC's in the same machine should never reside on the same subnet.

If a machine needs more the 1 address asigned to it from the same subnet, simply bind another address to the adapter.

Would you like to see the diagram that I have so you can understand what I mean? The other computers with IP addresses 10.159.1.0 to 10 are all connected together. 10.159.1.10 will have a tree connection. The comps that will be connected to it are comps that has different softwares of different analyzing equipment. In the diagram that I have. There are spaces or boxes provided and would like to know what the IP addresses should be. Please let me know your email so I can send you a copy.
Thanks!
