How Do a Gateway under Windows NT with two or more Lan Card on TCP/IP ??

I.E : You have 2 Lan segment
(one ethernet lan and a Token Ring lan or Fast Ethernet Lan and 10 mbits/s Ethernet one)
and you want to interconnect all?

  • Fisrt step :
    - You must Install RIP network services under NT.
    - go to control panel/network
    - select services tabsheet
    - add RIP for internet Protocol service
    - It can be found on Windows NT Server CD-ROM
    - But I'm not sure it's on NT Workstation

  • Second Step :
    - In the proctocol tabsheet select Tcp/ip Protocol
    - Select the first Network Card
    - Specify an IP address
    - a nice Net-mask
    - Gateway Adress is the same than the first card adress

    - Do the same for second card But You must enter another Network Adress
    - I.E for a class C network
    - first card - IP adress 192.10.0.254
    Sub-net Mask 255.255.255.0
    Gateway Adress 192.10.0.254

    - second card - IP adress 192.10.2.254
    Sub-net Mask 255.255.255.0
    Gateway Adress 192.10.2..254

  • Thrid Step :
    - In the Routing tabsheet, check Activate Routing.


  • Tips :
    - to speed up browsing in network neighbourhood put all your computer in same Domain or workgroup name.
    - Remove NETBeui, the ugly microsoft protocol which is broadcasting everytime for nothing.


  • And finally, here are some usefull regs :
