Re: Help configuring AT with XP and Crossover Cable

How have you configured the shares that the Atron is using?  Do you
refer to the "server" by name or the IP address?  If it can ping, but
not see the shares, it could be a name resolution, in which case
referring to the "server" (the one with the music shares) by IP should
help.  If you look for shares from the Atron interface, are there any
errors listed ("Host not found" or otherwise)?

Any chance you're running WindowsXP with the firewall enabled?

Subject: Re: [AT] Help configuring AT with XP and Crossover Cable

I seem to be getting closer. After changing the binding order, I can now
see the Internet just fine using my #1 NIC.

The #2NIC is connected to the AT and I can get to the web config pages
of
the AT, but I can't seem to get the AT to find my shares. The AT can
ping
NIC#2.

On the AT, what does it want for Gateway and DNS Server values? I've
tried
using the IP of NIC#2 for the Gateway (10.0.0.2) but that doesn't seem
to
work.

Again, the values I have entered for the AT are:

IP 10.0.0.4
SN 255.255.255.0
Gateway 10.0.0.2 - The IP of the NIC at the end of the crossover
DNS - I have no idea what to enter here.


The NIC#2 in my PC:
IP 10.0.0.2
SN 255.255.255.0
Gateway - nothing, If I enter the IP of the router here, I lose the
Internet on my primary (NIC#1) connection.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

We have a similar situation in our lab:  Frontend (network-facing) NIC
with gateway and Backend (private-subgroup-facing) NIC with no gateway.
Works fine.  The PC is going to need a gateway to get to the Internet,
so
the NIC connecting to the router needs the gateway, which should be the
IP
of the router.

When we've had problems in the past, it's because the binding order had
the Backend NIC listed first, so it never saw the internet.  If you go
to
Network Settings in Control Panel, the Advanced Menu (up top), there's a
tab with the binding order listed.  Make sure your PC-to-Gateway NIC is
listed first.

I hope I didn't confuse the hell out of you!  Sorry if I did...
