GATEWAY PROBLEM

by quintar51 . Updated 23 years, 10 months ago

Hi guys.

in my ISA i have 2 NICS. one for my internal network, 192.x.x.x and one for my external network, 10.x.x.x.

The 10.x.x.x NIC has a gateway for 209.x.x.x which is my static IP from my ISP.

I use DSL to connect, and for that, I installed the RASPPPOE protocol. Now, when I connect to the internet, I constantly have trouble every now and then with accessing the internet from any machine. Can’t ping or anything.

when I check my routing table, I notice I have 2 gateways, asindicated below:

0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 209.x.x.x 209.x.x.x. metric 1
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 209.x.x.x 10.x.x.x. metric 1

It seems that if I want my internet to work, i have to delete one of the routes, and then connect again. I constantly have to play with it until it finally works. This is very frustrating as you can imagine. This doesn’t make any sense to me.

I should only have one gateway. From this little problem, it seems like I have 2 gateways. I was thinking removing the NIC with 10.x.x.x and using my 209.x.x.x connection as my external ‘adapter’.

Can someone help me out here????
