Question : Seperating connections for use with certain applications, Cisco VPN, Bandwidth Throttling.
|
|
Current Setup.
Connection: 1 = 10 mb/s Down / 1 mb/s Up Cable Connection 2 = 768 kb/s Down / 156 kb/s up DSL
Computer: 1 wired connection, 1 wireless connection.
1 wired connection = DSL, 1 wireless Connection = Cable.
Problem: I can't have both connections active at once. Cisco WebVPN is unstable.
Needed Solution: Can I bundle my work related apps use the DSL, and my other apps use the cable. Also, fix the Cisco VPN problem so that both adaptors work together (enabled)
Next: Edian Firewall 2.1, Need bandwidth throttling? How is this done?

Somedays I just don't think clear. Other days I am an idiot.
O.K. Here is the easier way to do this.
NIC1 = the NIC you want to use for normal Internet access. NIC2 = the NIC you want to use for special purposes.
NIC1 leave configured as is and make sure you set the default route to whatever it should be, I beleive 192.168.1.1.
Now NIC2 change the IP address to 192.168.2.10 with mask of 255.255.255.0 and do NOT set any default gateway on this interface.
Change the IP address of the Westell to 192.168.2.1 with mask of 255.255.255.0.
edit your registry and go to the key:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\PersistentRoutes
and delete the route I had you add before. Now add the route:
route add -p x.x.x.x 255.255.255.255 192.168.2.1
What is happening is that you have two NIC's on the same IP subnet and it will confuse the computer as to which NIC to use when.
What the above does is create two unique IP subnets. One you will use for "normal" traffic (192.168.1.0/24) and one you can use for "special" traffic (192.168.2.0/24).
