I finally have the router NIC modules working right after changing the IO addresses to 300 and 320. Now they come up reliably every time. I think I have most of my config files set up right as well. I don't see any error messages during start up. My final hurdle it seems is getting on to the net with my "new" Bering router. My ISP has assigned me the following with a DSL Modem: Static IP 66.202.48.231 Gateway 66.202.48.1 DNS 216.47.224.66 and 216.47.224.48 My Windows 9x clients are set to obtain IP address automatically and use DHCP for WINS resoloution. I am able to successfully ping both interfaces on my Bering router. Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong? Below is the output from my router BTW I am not using port forwarding.
