Title: SME 7 and 3 network adapters (1 WAN and 2 LAN)
Post by: andrej on March 02, 2007, 09:41:46 AM

Hello guys!

I wonder if it's possible....and how to do it ?
I want to use the SME box as a router and as a server - with no external switch attached.

It was easy to do it with Clarkconnect, but it is outdated now, and the new versions don't support some things...

So, is there any possibility to get this done with small effort?
I searched the forum, but it seems everyone wants to have 2 WANs and 1 LAN. For me it's the opposite.


Thanks in advance :)

Andrej

No SME does not support 3 nics at all, if your interested in having this in the future then see if a bug has been raised and see how many people would be willing to sponser this work if you need it done.

small effort would be a switch?

Andrej just do what i do. Set the server in server/gatewy mode and then configure one external and internal nic and plug a switch or a router on it.

E.G.:

Code: [Select]


SME-------LAN---Switch
   |
   |
WAN

Then you'll have at least 4 free ports (if you use 5 port switch).
It costs about 144,77 € for a 24 port switch. 5 port switch costs about 13 € in Slovenia.

No there is no other solution. Just buy a switch and your problems are solved.

In lep pozdrav tudi tebi. :)

Is there any solution, if I want 1 wan and 2 independent LANs? I mean that 1st LAN cannot see or acces 2nd LAN and opposite.
Sorry for my english  :oops:

You can enter two different ip ranges (192.168.1.1 and 192.168.2.1) that would do it.
