leased line + adsl - same network

[[OUPA]MrNutz]

hey peeps..

client (about 30 pc's)...

they have a 256k leased line ...192.168.0.x for ip range - use active directory , ISA ect..

thus their dns is internal - and gateway is specified.

now they received ADSL..

the ONLY BASIC suggestion i have (tested this yesterday - works 100% - bit manual but ok)

-get 1 xp pc - in bridge mode ADSL connection
-put CCPROXY on pc(not to be used for anything else than "proxy") but that is part of the domain
-use colasoft capsa to measure bandwidth usage
-then just add to your browser 192.168.0.X:808 (as they only want the ADSL for faster browsing - no apps)

i would have liked to just use the ADSL in router mode - DNS is a big problem then - because i have ActiveDirectory and ADSL router dns settings in 1 tcp/ip setup - its gonna cause problems.

its a REAL small setup - and i need a basic solution - but the above software is a bit manual to keep an eye on. (it works tho)

-they wanna keep the leased line.
-but only give certain ppl access to the ADSL

so main Q: - how do i combine ADSL with leased line with minimal effort/effect ..the MS way

thx

heheh - shame - poor okes received their first 678 this morning

read up on Ipconfig (the command-line command) to reconfigure the network adapter on the client PC. Save these commands into a batch file for each gateway.

I have used in the past to switch between 2 normal router gateways. I don't know if it will work in your case, because ISA mucks everything up. The only way I can think of you can get it working is to bypass the ISA on the other connection.

basically the user will run the batch script of the connection he wants to connect to.

or

how about adding a second NIC to the pc....

nic A = 192.168.0.x/mask 255.255.255.0 / dgw 192.168.0.2 / dns1 192.168.0.1

nic B = 10.0.0.3 / mask 255.255.255.0 / dgw 10.0.0.2 / dns1 10.0.0.2 (or saix's)

a bit of cable effort - or make the "2nd nic" wifi
