Bridging NICs On One Router?
Feb 27, 2013
I have a quick question to ask regarding bridging two NIC/LAN ports on my home server to two LAN ports on a single gigabit router. Is this possible? Will the router have any trouble determining IP addresses? If so, is a certain router required for this to work that I am unaware of? I'm run a google search for any info on this subject but this particular question doesn't seem to have been asked that I'm able to find.
I'm essentially looking to increase any bandwidth throughput if possible for content streaming on my home network.

Following is my Hardware
Router: 3Com OfficeConnect ADSL Wireless 11G firewall
Laptop: Lenovo 3000 N200 - Vista
Built in NIC: Intel PRO/Wireless 3945BG
USB NIC: Linksys Compact Wireless G
I am trying to connect my Laptop to Media Player HDD connected via Ethernet to Router. I want to channel traffic to/fro HDD separately from that of internet to/fro laptop (to make it faster - my assumption)
I have successfully done this by using the router as a switch when I had a cable modem. But now I have an ADSL connection to internet and my internet gets kicked off while I connect these using VLAN.
What I want is best possible configuration of my hardware to access internet and play/transfer media files on my laptop

I have my internet coming into my WAG120N and going out wirelessly. I want to setup a wireless bridge between this and an E1500, so I can connect my TV to the E1500 (via an ethernet cable) and have it access the internet. Unfortunatly I can run a cable from the WAG120N to where the TV is. So it I can get the E1500 wirelessly bridged to the WAG120N? I have updated the firmware ont he E1500 to get Bridging support, but from what I can tell it only provides bridging via an ethernet cable. Is there away to bridge wirelessly?

I'm attempting to bridge from a Netcomm router to my EA6500, I can set the Netcomm into bridging mode no problems and as expected the Internet is gone.Next step is to access my EA6500 to configure it to manage Internet access however when I try 192.168.1.1 to get to my EA6500 it takes me to the WEB interface for the Netcomm router as it's default IP is also 192.168.1.1, so I'm stuck.So they have the same default IP address, how do i get to my EA6500 to finish the configuration?

Five months ago we moved into a new apartment, and connected up our broadband; the ISP provides a Thomson Speedtouch modem (ST546 v6), which I understand from Tech Support is running software v4 (it was issued with V5, but rolled back to V4 for stability issues).We prefer a WiFi network, so purchased a Belkin N Wireless Modem Router (F5D8636-4 v2); I connected it up ditching the ISP issued modem, and all worked well for four months. Suddenly it refused to see the ADSL connection - orange light flashing.So after four nights of 'fault resolution' with Belkin, they decided to send me a replacement... which I finally received last night. It didn't work - same problem, flashing orange light.I have the correct user name and password for the ISP - checked it not once, not twice, but four times. The Thomson Speedtouch works, but doesn't provide a WiFi environment. Can I connect the Belkin modem router into the back of the Thomson and transmitt/carry the WiFi signal that way, and if so, how? I tried (the obvious to me) plug a ethernet cable from the Thomson modem into the Belkin, but nothing.. I'm guessing there are a few important steps I missed.

The setup:
(1) E3000 as root router - IP: 192.168.1.1 - DHCP Server: Enabled - Start IP Add: 192.168.1.100
(2) TL-WR841N as bridge - IP:192.168.1.2 - DHCP Server: Disabled - WDS Enabled
The problem:I bridged (2) Wirelessly to (1).when i'm connected to (1) there seem to be no problem at all, the internet is working just fine and i can even ping & connect (2), i guess that means the bridging is working.But when im connected to (2), I get a 'limited connection' & I can't connect the internet. I also can't ping & connect to (2).The IP assigned for the computer that is connected to (2) Wirelessly is not matching the DHCP confg. (169.254.228.216).I have reason to belive that the problem is somehow from a wrong configuration with the LinkSys router but i dont know what it could be. i started from scratch, reseting the two routers over and over again while trying different configurations but with no luck.

I'm not that great at networking, I'm pretty much a novice but I'm trying to connect a modem and router to my computer but get around bridging the modem if possible. You see, I am working with AT&T and their dsl modem access page only works for me if the modem is unbridged. If I bridge the modem, I cannot get on the page again to unbridge it while I am trying to hook up my router. When I need them to unbridge the modem, I have to stay on hold for hours. One guy even told me that he did unbridge the modem, but since my internet persisted not to work, he told me my ethernet card went bad of a sudden on my computer. I knew this was incorrect so after a few more hours on hold, I had a lady debate with me that she was not unbridging my modem since it was my ethernet card that was bad and not the bridging. Finally, laughing to herself, she unbridged the modem for me and it worked
Here is what I have: My modem is a Motorola 2210 Style: MSTATEA My router is a Linksys WRT120N
As of right now, I just have a LAN with my modem plugged in through an ethernet cord to my PC. Is there a way of me hooking up my Linksys router to my modem and PC without bridging the modem? If so, where can I find out instructions for this?

I just bought the Cisco E1200 about two weeks ago to replace an older Linksys non wireless router. With my old Linksys, I had an Acess Point installed, a trendnet TEW-638APB. Now that I have the new Cisco E1200 which itself is wireless, I'd like to add my TrendNet Access Point to the netowork and extend the wireless range. However the place in the house I want to put it does not have any CAT-5 cable running to it so I'm trying to set up a bridged connection between the two. I'm a bit new to netoworking stuff but I catch on pretty quick. I've been doing research on it all day between the TrendNet AP and the Cisco E1200 but I'm still a little lost. I've got WDS enabled on the TrendNet AP and have the first MAC address set to the Wireless MAC address of the E1200 but I don't get what to make the next three MAC address. Somone told me to make all 3 of them 00:00:00:00:00:00. Is that correct?
I also have both the E1200 and the TrendNet AP set to the same channel, both are on a 20Mhz channel width, Both have the same SSID though I'm pretty sure that doesn't matter in the long run from what I've read. Also, no incryption on either (no need for it out here).So I guess I'm just wondering how do I use the E1200 as a Wireless Base Station? If that's what it's called? I have upgraded the firmware of the E1200 from 1.0.00 to 1.0.03 but that didn't change anything in regards to seeing an option for a bridging mode or anything. Other than that I'm not sure what else to do.

We have a customer that is relocating thier headquarters. They have a temporary requirement to bridge multiple vlans or a router T3 link to the new location as they cannot change the IP subnets. Setup is 3560 switch connecting to a 3845 then T3 to remote 3845 and 3560. I need to bridge multiple VLANs. I have seen a good example on how to do it over sonet but I don't see how to translate that to an HDLC or Frame Relay encapsulation for the T3 Link.

I have a networked PC with 2 NICs.One is connected to our business network, with a static IP address (10.38.75.xx) the other NIC (10.42.10.xx) is connected to a Controller machine.The business side of things works fine - network access & internet access works well.The intent with this PC is for a vendor to be able to RDP it (which he can) then open a browser and use the Controller's IP address (10.42.10.33) to access and control the connected machine.I am an administrator - logged in as myself, and trying to browse to this IP address, the page tries to load forever. It never times out or displays an error - just continues trying to load.At first, the vendor that was accessing this machine, when logged in as himself, COULD get the web page to open up at that IP - but he wasn't authorized to install an activeX program that needed to be installed. Logged in as myself, I couldn't get to the point where it asked to install the program.
Because I couldn't figure out how to fix this, I just set him as a local administrator as a short term fix - now he can't access the web page either. I've tried setting him back (removing his adminstrator privileges) - but now neither of us are able to access this page.

I want to route traffic from nic 2(192.168.2.1) to nic 1(192.168.1.1). In lame terms route the traffic from 192.168.2.10(gateway 192.168.2.1) to 192.168.135(192.168.1.1). I know how to use the route command in CMD. So how would I get the traffic from 192.168.2.10 to 192.168.1.135? I'm just not sure how I would do that with the route command. I've tried
Code:
route -p add 192.168.1.135 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1 IF 12
Also tried like 5 different ways The IF 12 is my NIC 2.

I have 2 nics in my win7 system, NIC 1 connect to leased line and NIC2 is connected to organization LAN for internet. Both the ip add are in same subnet. when both the cables are plugged in to nics, leased line link connected to nic1 goes down. It wouldn't come up untill the cable from nic 2 is plugged out.Basically i wish to be connected to both the networks simultaneously.

So i have a server with an internet nic and lan nic. The internet nic gets its IP from the router 192.168.1.7 the lan nic uses DHCP for the network and has 172.16.1.1. I just turned on the ftp service and it works fine in the lan side but cant reach it from the ISP side. I use a dynamic dns host which is monitoring my internet ip and is correct.

Ok so even though this isn't really needed, it's for a 10 user office I have two tower servers with dual nics but not the same brand (just bought a cheapy gigabit startech) to go with intel on board nic. Also my switch is also gigabit which is a trendnet teg-s24dg which does not support link aggregration.
But since I have two nics and both servers are running win2008 enterprise I want to use the other nics for throughput if possible. So to give an idea servers are doing DC/AD and fileserver DFS rep. If I turn one off the other picks up and network still functions (there is a small lag since dns has to pick up that other is not responding. So far the best I can think I can do with the extra nic is add ip's to second nics and add to dns and round robin or install NLB role to for two server cluster.
I can't really team them since they are two different brands, so what would you do or do you suggest I can do with them. Also I have a T1 and dsl going into a dual wan firewall dsl is not being used for anything. (might use it for a seperate wifi network if people need it.

I know enough to be dangerous when it comes to networking, but this one has me baffled. I'm running a win 7 pc with dual nics.
I need to have 1 nic connected to a vpn and the other to be restricted to intranet access only. I can't for the life of me figure out how to accomplish this.
Once I connect 1 nic to the VPN i'm no longer visible to my lan, even if the 2nd nic is connected.

I am using a proxy server with 2 NICs for sharing internet connection to my 100 desktop users in my office. NIC 1 is connected to my dsl modem and NIC 2 is connected to a main switch and further to more. But now i want to setup a wifi network for laptop users. I have enabled ICS on NIC 1 and NIC 2 has acquired it ip automatically (192.168.0.1) so the gateway for my desktop users is (192.168.0.1). But i want to use a new gateway. For this i have installed NIC 3 but it is not acquiring the ip automatically. My Proxy server configuration is: MS Server 2003 ENT edition.

I have the setup as following on my PC:
[code]...
I use the fibre internet for almost all internet activities since the speed is fast.However, when I do school's stuff, I need to VNC to my lab's server. Hence I need to connect to school internet point. External IP cannot directly connects to my school's server.Therefore, I would need to force Windows (or VNC) to use the connection of the Wireless Ethernet card when I VNC to my lab's server. But I want to use my fibre for all other internet activities.

I have a PC on a crowded network that cannot handle much more bandwidth usage.I am now going to have a tons of transferring to do offsite so I added a second internet line just to deal with the influx of file transfers.I tried a dual WAN setup on my router and the performance was not improved (if it was nobody noticed it) so I said forget that idea, I only need to do these massive transfers from 1 PC so I will just add a second NIC to the machine so that the 1st NIC can maintain local network functionality and the 2nd NIC will be just for internet traffic (sending files up/down to offsite location) Essentially I just need NIC1 for handling local network, connecting to exchange etc. and NIC2 to handle files transfes to offsite location through seconday internet line.So now I have a desktop PC with two NICs. One of them built into the board, the other a pci add on nic. they are both 10/100
On nic1, there is a connection to my network 200.200.1.X which is the internal network for Exchange, local files transfers etc. This is the network i have always had connected and I have no problem connecting to my exchange server etc. (my server is providing dns/dhcp/wins/AD/MSE for the entire network)so I installed a secondary NIC and a secondary network line to the NIC2 on the machine.I set it up with an IP, a SN, a gateway and a DNSI removed the gateway from the 1st NIC.SO then I tried adding a gateway to BOTH of the NICs..This allows me to do EVERYTHING I want, however when i go to whatismyip.com and get a result, the IP it is giving me is NOT either of my static IPs (each network has a seperate internet line with a static IP). Not sure where this IP is coming from, but if i tracert google.com it says I am going out through the primary adaptor.The new IP from whatismyip.com makes no sense to me as it is not either of my static IPs, however it is very close.Would this be a situation where my ISP see's I have 2 gateways defined so it generates a 3rd external IP for some reason? Never heard of this but i am no guru.essentially I just need NIC1 for handling local network, connecting to exchange etc. and NIC2 to handle files transfers to offsite location through seconday internet line.

I'm trying to setup a server with two nics, one of which is connected to the network, and the other connected to a NAS via crossover. I've never done anything with subnetting, but I was thinking I could just set the main nic to 192.168.10.20 with a subnet of 255.255.255.0 and the other to 192.168.10.250 with a subnet of 255.255.255.240 and the nas nic set to 192.168.10.251
Am I thinking through this right, or is there a better way to do this?

I have an issue with some traffic routing:
Machine A | Machine B (Win 2008 R2) | Machine C
Start: 192.168.5.9 > 192.168.5.5 (NIC 1) - 10.14.137.130 (NIC 2) > 10.14.137.128So the question is how do i get traffic from Machine A to Machine C. I've tried various 'Route ADD' cmds but no luck so far. So was hoping someone out there could shed some light for me?Machine B is a AD/DNS and can talk to the entire 10.14.137.x range but has no forwarders set up in DNS. And does not act as a AD/DNS server for the 10.14.137.x range. It fills these roles only for the 192.1668.5.x range.

The situation is I have a windows 2008 server with two nics, connected to two routers. The routers are connected together as well. This diagram might explain further:[url]....
Each router effectively defines a completely different network. The server nic connected to the internet facing router is configured with minimal properties (no ip6, no file sharing, no netBIOS over tcp etc), the nic connected to the internal router has mostly default properties. Both nics have static ip addresses. Both networks define a subnet of 255.255.255.0. The nics are not bridged in the server and it is not acting as a router or anything network related.
The problem is I cannot access the server when both nics are enabled. If I disable the nic for the internet facing router, then everything is fine. If I establish a connection to the server such as through remote desktop, then re-enable the nic it still works but I can't ping or make new connections.

I have 2 NICs in my Windows 7 PC at work.NIC #1 connects to our private network and is also how I connect to the internet. NIC #2 connects to our customer's network and does not allow internet connectivity for me.When I first boot up my Windows 7 machine I get the following info in route print:Despite the fact that I have a persistent route with metric 1 to send my internet traffic to the 172 subnet, the internet requests go to the 10 subnet. I am guessing that is because the non-persistent route to the 10 subnet has a metric of 20 vs. the 21 for the 172 subnet. I delete the route 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 10.242.1.254 and I am able to connect to the internet again.HOWEVER, after something like 4-6 hours, (without rebooting) the bad route automatically reappears in my route table! I become aware of it because I suddenly have connectivity problems. There are no entries in the Windows Logs that seem to be related (i.e., no DHCP renewal requests.) so I do not know how or why it reappears.

the Vswitch for VMs is setup in a VPC. Question is do the traffic from each vm going in/out of these nics in a vpc actually use both physical links? How can i tell from the switch?
