2 Nics in Win98
« on: 15 October 2004, 00:19 »
I have 2 networks in one building.
I want one of the clients on network 1 to see the other network.  I understand i need to put two NICS in one client, but how do i configure the settings in win98 to also see network 2 so the user can see both networks.  Also, will the user have to log into both networks?

You know, if you install Linux on one of your machines and use it to set up a bridge between the networks, you won't need to bother with these kind of things. Here are guides, and come back here if you run into trouble.

Bridging in Linux is pretty easy. The only difficult thing is patching the kernel, which isn't really that hard  

Here's the guide I used:
http://www.shorewall.net/bridge.html

(it has one fault in the guide... you need to move the brctl from /usr/local/sbin to /usr/local/bin for it to work with the rc.bridge script, and you need to change the script itself)
