2 Nics in Win98

(1/1)

Dudley:
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?

M51DPS:
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.

Refalm:
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)
