How to use 2 NIC's on one WINGATE PC?

[zoid]

Hi,

I know that this is more of a windows config problem but i dont know how to solve it to make wingate work on my network. I have two LAN cards installed on one pc with two different IP. Card A's IP is 192.168.36.50 and is used for Lan connections. Card B has a real IP 61.10.... something.

I want the lan users to access internet through this machine by accesing the machine on A which forwards requests to B. Now the Problem...

Whenever I switch on the machine, Wingate stops working properly and clients get DNS errors... I have to disable my card A, access internet on local machine and then enable Card A again and then everything is working fine!!! Why is this happening?

Detailed IP config is:
Card A
IP 192.168.36.50
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
default gateway 192.168.36.1 interface metric 1
preferred DNS server 192.168.36.2

Card B
IP 61.95.___.___
subnet mask 255.255.255.240
default gateway 63.95.147.225 interface metric 1
preferred Dns server 202.56.200.8

What are the models of your NICs? Does any of them happen to be Realtek-based?

Ok why would this make any difference. I have just spent a good few hours trying to configure NAT within NAT with no joy. I could do nslookup and resolve WWW to IP but no internet explorer. I had a realtek based NIC which after reading this forum replaced and hey presto! it has sprung into life. Please would you let me know if this is a problem and why.

One issue is having two Default Gateways.

Disable the Default Gateway on the Internal NIC.

This should make things easier for you.

Only had the one, it was the NIC causing the problem..
