|
 |
Problem with network bridge (not sure if it is supposed to use like this)
So, I have two nics in my comp
from nic1 the cable goes to adsl router
from nic2 the cable goes to xbox
I created a bridge between these two nics, so xbox gets to internet also. I gave ip 10.0.0.2 for the bridge. Router is 10.0.0.1 and xbox is 10.0.0.3.
It was working quite fine for a while, but now it seems to work so that all my traffic is routed to nic2, so the data doesn't go to adsl -> I lose internet connection if I enable the bridge.
Any ideas how I can get it working properly? Ok I could use some ics software but I would rather use bridge if I just get it working...
So I guess I just need to tell to windows somehow that traffic to internet goes through nic1, not nic2.

Do you mean you have an ADSL modem or a router? I use a router that has an 8 port switch built in (you can pick them up fairly cheaply nowadays) so I just plug all my computers into the router and the router into the DSL modem and then all machines can have network access individually. In your case the bridge machine will have to be switched on for the Xbox to get net access and if you have to reinstall the computer at any point you will have to setup the bridge again. A good router will also assign all your internal IP addresses for you using DHCP so you don't have to worry about it.

That's very strange, especially as it was working to start with. Is there anything different on the bridge PC to what was on there when it was first set up? Have you just installed SP2 on the bridge PC or any other new software?

You should take a look at which DNS server and default gateway are set on your bridge pc.
The first DNS server should be the one of your ISP and the default gateway should be your ADSL modem (because that is your router and therefor your gateway to the internet)
Let me know if that helped you in any way...

.. When I set metrics manually, then it works quite often, but still sometimes I had to disable the main connection and then enable it again... But ok, that's another thing and not problem for me anymore.
