I am trying to set up a router with 2000 server. I have
one nic that with the ip 10.102.1.5 and netmask
255.255.0.0 gateway 10.102.1.5 and the other nic is
10.101.60.25 netmask 255.255.0.0 gateway 10.101.60.25. I
have a device on the 10.102 side and one on the 10.101
side. the server can ping both devices, but the devices
can not ping each other. I changed the 10.102.1.5 to
192.168.1.1 and the device on that side to 192.168.1.2
and now I can ping everything from everywhere. I need it
to work from 10.102.1.5. Any ideas what is wrong?
Thanks,
Brian
 
Possibly the subnet masks are not right on the device or devices and the
packet is not getting sent to the gateway/router and is being broadcast on
the local network instead.
 
You normally don't need any default gateway settings on the router itself.
The important thing is the default gateway settings on the clients.

If this is the only router, leave the DG settings on the router blank.
eg

192.168.1.x dg 192.168.1.1
|
192.168.1.1 dg blank
router
192.168.2.1 dg blank
|
192.168.2.x dg 192.168.2.1

You only need a DG setting on the router if another gateway is involved,
and then only on one NIC! eg

|
router
192.168.1.254
|
192.168.1.x dg 192.168.1.254
router
192.168.2.1 dg blank
|
192.168.2.x dg 192.168.2.1
