Hi,
I just was wondering if windows xp's network bridging uses nat to run its
functions. I already have a router using nat on the network and think if the
bridging uses nat also then there may be conflicts, also can the bridge work
two ways, ie
gateway / internet
|
[pc 1]-------[pc 2]----switch----[pc 3]
|
[pc 4]
Pc 1 is connected to pc 2 via a crossover
Pc 2, pc 3 and pc 4 are all connected to a switch
On pc 2 if i bridge the connections to the switch and to pc 1:
- will pc 1 and pc 4 be able to ping each other? and
- will pc 1 and pc 4 be able to ping each other if they had static ip
addresses or on a different subnet than pc2?
Thanks for your help
