Hi, Ray,
Thanks for the speedy response!
I have since posted the following in response to Erich Titl's help:
==================================
>So your Win2K box has 2 NICs.
>Is your cabling correct?
>Can you access the internal interface of the router from your Win2K box,
>e.g. can you ping 192.168.1.254.
Thanks!
1. I can't ping 192.168.1.254 from Win2000p or my local LAN.
2. In essence, The Win200p box and the Bering PC won't talk to each other.
3. Checked my cabling and changed cables, etc. etc.
The following was the configuration of my LAN initially:
Win2000P Bering
+---------------+ +---------------------+
| 192.168.72.74 | | eth0:65.95.176.193 |---> PPPoE/ADSL/DHCP
| | | |
| |<--[10BastT Hub]--->| eth1:192.168.72.254 |
| | | |
+---------------+ +---------------------+
I initially changed the Bering PC IP from 192.168.1.254 to 192.168.72.254 (in many
places) and experienced the same problem. I thought I was doing something wrong and
didn't catch all of the IP changes. So I added another card to the Win2000p and use
the default setting of 192.168.1.254 on eth1 of the Bering box. With the above config,
I couldn't ping neither direction.
==================================
>1. You seem to say that the Win2K client has 2 interfaces, one to the
>Bering LAN, the other to "LAN2". What does its routing table look like?
>Does it know the right route to the Bering router?
In the Win2K box, I use 192.168.1.10/225,225,225,0 as IP and under Gateway I had put
in 192.168.1.254 on both cards.
>2. You say the two devices are connected "|<-xLink RJ45->|". Are you using

That's correct! I use an uplink or crossover cable without using a hub and I have
tried with two crossover cables.
>3. When you try to ping, do the activity lights on BOTH NICs flash?
>(Assuming the NICs have activity lights; not all do.)
Yes indeed! The activity lights seems to work. They come on and then off when I ping.
>4. Can the Win2K host ping the Bering router? (Probably not, but does it
>fail with a different error?)
No! If I use the command: ping -n 2 192.168.1.254, I get the following results:
==================================
Pinging 192.168.1.254 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Ping statistics for 192.168.1.254:
Packets: Sent = 2, Received = 0, Lost = 2 (100% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms

I don't have "ipchains" as I am using Bering because when I type in the command
"ipchains -nvL", it reports that Not Found! Is this normal?
Thanks!
