two wingate servers in a LAN /one works other does'nt:::HELP

[manish]

Hi there,
i am using wingate 5.2.3 in my local network where i have 15 machines, we have two broadband connections. Seven machines which are on the ground floor are connected to a hub on the same level, the hub in turn is connected to another hub on the first floor and in turn connected to the remaining 8 computers.
One internet connection is available on each floor. I have installed wingate servers on both ground floor and first floor, the ground floor clients are supposed to access internet through the ground floor wingate server and the first floor clients from the first floor server. All clients have static Ips with correct DNS and gateway settings corresponding to each server. subnet mask for all the computers is 255.255.255.0 / ground floor wingate server ip is 192.168.0.200 and first floor server ip is 192.168.0.1. All computers can be seen in th network neighbourhood.
The configuration seems fine and the ground floor clienst can access internet but the wingate server on the first floor does not allow access to its clients.
What can be the problem ?
Can two wingate servers co exist in a network ?
Lot of other computers which do not belong to our network can be seen in the wingate activity pane?

Please help

Are you using only one type of LAN IP configuration? 192.168.0.1-192.168.0.255? Try to create a separate IP configuration for each network. Also turnoff the firewall of one Wingate Server and instead use the built-in firewall that came with your broadband. Report back and someone will take over.

Hi

Normally the visibility of other machines not on your local network is a sign that you are using a broadband cable modem connection - those machines are the other subscribers to this service. Because of the way cable modem technology works, it is as if all subscribers are on a single broadcast ethernet segment.

As for one server working and another not, do these two servers have the same network hardware?

Also do you see any firewall hits in the one that isn't working, or log entries or system log entries that indicate authentication issues?

Does anything show up in GateKeeper's activity panel for this machine?
