Router Modem conflict
I have one machine with 2 network card. One card is connected to
highspeed modem and the other to a router, connected to 2 other computers. When the router is connected, I cannot go on line. When the router is disconnected( remove cable), I can go online. Obviously there is a conflict. Can it be resolved ? I only need a network printer shared by these 3 machines |

Sounds like you should have the router connected to the highspeed modem
[cable/DSL] and let your network connect via the router. The router would then assign IP addressing for the networked computers and printer [if a true network computer]. -- MEB http://peoplescounsel.orgfree.com -- _________ "Cosmopolite" wrote in message news:wMZ6k.371$2G6.66@edtnps83... | Cosmopolite wrote: | | sipped | | I should have added, that the connect, disconnect problem happens on | reboot.

Don't set a default gateway on the nic attached to the router. You need to set static routes if you want to access the Internet from the computers on the other side of the router. If you post some ip addressing details of your network someone will be able to help you with it. Jim. |

I thought that seperate NIC's would be more secure,but that is not the case. The router is more secure,no more pop-ups on my ZoneAlarm. I will assuage my fears by installing a RJ45 switchbox, to physically disconnect the 2 machines when I don't need to print. |
