Connecting 2 networks together...?

Slippy
Hi, i was wondering if anyone could help me with connecting two networks together. I'm at a college that has its own network and only allows one ip for each ethernet port (one to a room). My roommate and I use ICS to bridge this problem (2 NICs and a crossover cable), but we want more.

ICS with 2 gateways on network

Cryptonium
I'm trying to add another gateway (with its own DSL connection) to a network that already has one gateway connected to the internet using DSL using Win2k Pro. The problem is that win2k doesn't allow me to use any dummy IP other than 192.

Anyone got networking working?

Mr_Q
Man, I cannot get networking working! I can get on the net and what not. But I cannot get my two XP machines to see each other. Nor can I get my XP machine to see my Win2K machine! They call this an RC release?? My workgoup doesn't show up, and my shares do not show up.

Drive mapping, source gone, restart, WONT GO AWAY!

HELLBRINGER
You know when you map a drive and have it remap when you restart. And then that system with the drive to be mapped is gone. Well I have a lot of mapped drives (13 to be precise) and some times when the systems are offline it says error connecting and all that crap.

No login window ?

chucken
This is probably a stupid question but anyway. . I installed WinXP RC1 on a computer at work and it worked just fine but when I install it at home it does not look quite the same. For instance, I dont get the standard NT/2000 login window when I start up the system, instead I get a welcome picture and then my accou ...

Multiple mandatory user profiles

robertirwin
OK - this one is strictly for networking geeks. I work at a school in IT and we're going to jack in our network software supplier for various reasons (short summary - they suck) Our kit is basically Win98 clients / NT 4 server (no Backoffice) So I've got to create a new system of user profiles and system policies f ...

Folder Sharing Restrictions, Any way to set them?

Ultrix
In win2k, I used to be able to share specific folders on my hd, but only to specific acounts that i designated. For Example, i used to share my whole d drive to an acount that i used with my laptop, and i would share a general folder to the public, therefore, the public couldnt see my whole hard drive.

Possible bug on Workgroup

bastardhost
I might have found a bug. After altering my workgroup name and rebooting winXP RC1, I found that the name had been reset to WORKGROUP. Nothing seems to be able to change this workgroup name into something that makes sense.

Using WinME instead of Win 98 SE just for the hell of it. But browsing the network seems to take a REALLY long time. Does anyone know why and how to fix it? Stupid as Win 9x platform! Errr! I hate it! I hate it a lot!.

JJ32 gave me an intriuging idea...

HELLBRINGER
From his recent thread start. I had an intriuging idea. I don't know if it will work or even can. But. . . Could you take 2 switches, and two network cards. And 2 NICs in each comp on the network. And run both as a multi-link type of thing? Combining the speed of two switches together and the speed of two NICs toge ...

What should I do?

kgeissler
Right now I have a computer running Sygate to share my web connection. I am think about buying a cable/dsl router to take the place of the computer. I do a lot of port mapping to play games and such.
