Question : OSPF routing HOW does it happen

Basically I need a full example of a routing setup using OSPF to connect a computer thru 1 computer to another (or 1 computer to a router in this case), more details are below.

I'm trying to setup routing with OSPF because I had no luck whatsoever with static routing.  I prefer OSPF because it seems more fun the NAT or the other protocols...  This is WIn2k advanced server in Routing and Remote Access MMC console.

I have computers setup like this:

192.168.2.1 is the address of the NIC which is gateway: other computers are connected here.  192.168.2.108 is IP of the NIC which is connected to the Linksys router (the 2 are on the same computer).  Linksys router is 192.168.1.1.

192.168.2.1=mygateway, 192.168.2.108=connection-to-router, 192.168.1.1=linksys-router,... <-->to WAN
clients<--->192.168.2.1<--->192.168.2.108<--->192.168.1.1<--->WAN

gateway-using-computers would like to connect to WAN thru the first (192.168.1.1) computer.  



How to setup the OSPF areas and interfaces, and static routing (if static routing is needed)???????????????  I can't figure this one out at all.  I have no idea how to use destination and area together in which area, nor do I know how to use static routing (?????interface?????-destination-mask-gateway) and don't know if these need to be used together in order to make the router (win2k adv. server) a happy router.

Like which 'area' goes with which 'destination' and 'mask' and how many areas do I need etc. would be helpful..



So an example set of settings could really help me out here.  thanks yall!

Answer : OSPF routing HOW does it happen

What subnet mask are you using? 255.255.255.0 default class C? If so they you have a single IP segement theoretically on two sides of a router. Plus that 192.168.2.108 is on a different IP subnet to the Linksys? Can you even connect to the internet from this multihomed machine?

I recommend changing 192.168.2.108 to 192.168.1.108 to put it on the same IP subnet as the Linksys router. Then OSPF should updates the routes after a few minutes and everything should work.
