Hello All: I have a home network with 6 mixed os machines connected to a router for internet access, this all works great. I would like to add another network card to my main machine just for a VNC connection on a seperate network, as this would be an endpoint I am not sure how to proceed and all of the books I have don't cover anything like this or are just too old.
What is an "endpoint"?
Thanks for the info John.
The plan was to have a seperate connection for only 2 machines so I could use VNC between them to not hog the main internet network.
By endpoint I meant that the end of the second network would be my main machine, so there really needs to be no routing. It looks like I setup a second nic in my main machine and point my remote machine at it.
Thanks, Mike
Ok, but its still not clear to me if you have a separate connection to your ISP for this second nic, or if it all leaves the building on the same wire.
If only one connection to your ISP, there's no point in doing a second nic.
VNC isn't that bad on bandwidth utilization if you set it for 256 colors.
Here is the setup, Machine 1, my main machine Machine 2, Remote Machine ( in same building ) Nic 1, Network 1, connects to internet ( Nic 1, Network 1 ) - possible... via router. Nic 2, Network 2, just for VNC to Machine 1 Nic 2, Network 2, just for VNC to Machine 2
I think I could just do a swap cable between the two nic 2's .
I haven't done much with multi-nic routing. I did a software router / firewall about 8 years ago..
Thanks, Mike
Since Machine 1 and Machine 2 are in the same building, are Nic1 on both machines in the same subnet? Does Machine 1 have direct access to Machine 2, ie. not haveing to go through the router?
