OT: Can't ping anything on LAN when connected on dial-up adapter
This might be a little off topic since it is not regarding Cisco, but then again maybe not, since it's about routing and connectivity after all. I have a small LAN where five workstations and one printer. Everybody can ping eachother and the printer. However, if one of the users establish a dial-up connection to the ISP, she can't ping anything on the LAN anymore. The workstations are running Windows 95/98. I haven't been able to find anything (yet) in Microsofts Knowledgebase (I'm still looking), but I thought that some of you might have had this problem yourselves. Any comments on this will be appreciated. Thanks, Ole Ole Drews Jensen Systems Network Manager CCNA, MCSE, MCP+I RWR Enterprises, Inc.

Re: OT: Can't ping anything on LAN when connected on dial-up adapter
Hiya, This is due to when the user dials up, the Win32 pc sets a default route to the ISP. This route is taken over any others in the delivery of packets. The best way I have found around this is to add static routes back to my LAN while dialed up. This is very common. Hope this helps, Dave On Friday 30 March 2001 10:52, Ole Drews Jensen wrote: This might be a little off topic since it is not regarding Cisco, but then again maybe not, since it's about routing and connectivity after all.

RE: OT: Can't ping anything on LAN when connected on dial-up adapter
Thanks to all the replies on this. I can't really tell you what was wrong, because even though I disconnected the dial-up connection, and even restarted the computer, I was suddently not able to see IP addresses (except for the PC itself) on the LAN at all. I finally had them power cycle the router that had the build-in 8-port hub, and the printer, and fiddleley-fum, the IP addresses could be ping'd again. The thing is that the IDSL circuit on the WAN side of the router was terminated by Northpoint late last night or early this morning without any notice, and that must have triggered the router to go into Orbit mode, and convert the hub into a piano interface... WHAT DO I KNOW!!! Have a great weekend, Ole Ole Drews Jensen Systems Network Manager CCNA, MCSE, MCP+I RWR Enterprises, Inc.
