RE: TI-H: Re: networking


Let's refer to a modified diagram...

   +------+  +------+
compA    AcompB    Bcomp

If the middle computer is running NT Server, you can make it a router and a
WINS Server.  Assuming you set up the correct subnets, it would work fine.

For example, if the middle one is running NT, in Network properties check
Enable IP Forwarding.
Some example subnets you could use:

On card A in the left and the middle: 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2
On card B in the middle and right: 10.1.0.1 and 10.1.0.2

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 (255.255.0.0 in this case also works)
If you install a WINS Server on the middle comp (comes with NT) and make it
a domain controller, you should be able to browse the network with no
problem.)

I've set this up before as an experiment.  Works great!
