Topic: local networks

[c j eriksen]

Behind a firewall I have two networks; 192.168.1 (windows 2000) and 192.168.2 (sme server).
Windows 2000 (192.168.1) is running dhcp.

The users of 192.168.1 have to access the sme server through the internet (there are no connection between the servers behind the firewall)

The users of 192.168.1 shall be defined as a part of the local network at the sme server.

I've tried this by using the following information:
Network: 192.168.1.0
Subnet: 255.255.255.255
No of hosts: 1
Router: 192.168.2.1

without succeeding.

What is wrong?

Hi,
Try to change the subnet mask to
255.255.252.0
Then the SME should allow users from net 192.168.2.x to see the server.

FYI, that bit right there shows your problem. That subnet mask will allow only one host, 192.168.1.0.

Hi again,

Bill is more specific than I were.
Try to look at this page:
