How to route between 2 networks with a server with 2 network cards?
- by LumenAlbum
This is the first time I am faced with routing and it seems I have hit a dead end. I have the following scenario:
client1:
192.168.1.10
255.255.255.0
gateway: 192.168.1.100
DNS server: 192.168.1.100
client2:
192.168.1.20
255.255.255.0
gateway: 192.168.1.100
DNS server: 192.168.1.100
server (Windows Server 2008 R2 with enabled RAS & Routing Services)
network card 1 (connected to a switch along with the clients)
192.168.1.100
255.255.255.0
DNS server: 127.0.0.1
network card 2 (connected to the router)
192.168.2.100
255.255.255.0
gateway: 192.168.2.1
DNS server: 127.0.0.1
(DNS forwarding to 192.168.2.1)
ISP router (with connection to internet)
192.168.2.1
Now in this scenario I have tried to route traffic from the 192.168.1.0/24 network with the clients to the 192.168.2.0/24 network with the routers to connect them to the internet.
However, no matter what I do I get no positive ping to the router 192.168.2.1.
Ping from 192.168.168.1.10
to 192.168.1.20: Success
to 192.168.1.100: Success
to 192.168.2.100: Success
to 192.168.2.1: not reachable
The routing table contains the 2 routes 192.168.1.0 and 192.168.2.0 as directly connected.
Does anyone know where the routing fails?
I have searched different forums but mostly found nothing relevant. One post however pointed out that in a similar situation the problem was that the router doesn't know the way back and the internet router would need a static route back to the first router.
If that really is the case, I take it there is no solution with my equipment, because the standart ISP router doesn't allow to set any static routes.
