Hi,
I'm pretty new at networking in general, and I'm trying to install ASL 3.2 on a machine that currently has 3 NICS in it.. I would like the machine to act as a subnetting router, using 255.255.255.192 (I plan to add another NIC later, so I want to configure 2 subnets at first.
I have an Intel NIC which will act as the DHCP client, getting its address from my cablemodem.
The problem is that I have an existing LAN in my house that IS NOT subnetted. My existing LAN runs as 192.168.50.0 with my hardware router as 192.168.50.1 So when I install the admin interface on the ASL machine, and reboot, how can I access the admin interface (192.168.50.126) if it's on a 255.255.255.192 network and all my existing machines are on a 255.255.255.0 network?
I guess I just don't understand the whole subnetting issue enough yet to be able to set this up properly. Any suggestions, or anyone willing to guide me through this...? Thx.
What I want to do is set this up like this:
Intel NIC as the gateway (and I will eventually remove my hardware router). The Intel NIC should start out as 192.168.50.2 (and will eventually become 192.168.50.1 when I remove the hardware router)
Netgear NIC#1: subnet #1, 192.168.50.64 network
Netgear NIC#2: subnet #2, 192.168.50.128 network
I'm not sure what the subnet masks should be for the two subnets, and what the gateway addresses would be. And since my existing LAN is not subnetted, I can't seem to connect to the ASL machine via the web interface...
Also, is there a default admin or root login to the ASL machine, or is the only way to configure it via the web interface?
