`kay, I have an existing 100Mb network on 192.168.0.* I just got some gigabit cards for a song here, and I want to set `em up as a seperate (concurrent) network for local data xfer only. There's a 2kserver (gateway & DHCP server), but only 2kpro machines will get another NIC. Here's what I tried so far:

1) First up, put the Gb's on 10.0.0.* IPCONFIG said they were at 0.0.0.0, weird.
2) Switched to a 192.168.0.* IP, worked fine.
3) Went to a 192.168.1.* IP, figured I could use the netmask to my advantage this way.
4) Last thing I tried was back to a 10.0.0.* IP, worked just as steps 2 & 3 above.

From step 2 on, I could ping, map, etc. just fine. But! I got this nifty traffic monitor (ethereal) and it said there was traffic on the 100Mb card, no matter what I did. :( I tried to map network drives using IP addresses, same thing. Oh, and for now the Gb cards are connected directly, so no hub / switch / etc.

I'm @ work so can't fsck with it `till tonight, but any ideas?
 
Bumping an old (unreplied) thread, instead of making a new repost.

I *think* I got this solved at home, but I forget how. :( Now I'm having the same problem at work, having installed a second NIC in some boxes here.


Anyone know some good networking webpages?
 
Easy:

Specifiy all connections between the two boxes via IP. Make sure no gateway settings exist on the high speed interfaces.

Slightly Harder:

Enable host file name resolution. Configure the host files on each machine to reference the other machine only by its high speed IP address. Make sure no gateway settings exist on the high speed interfaces.

Easy didn't work, I got this weird thing where the Gb NIC would get 1% activity handing all packets off to the 100 NIC, whick would bounce erratically around 60%, if I remember right.
Another problem with easy is, AFAIK, gateway settings are more or less global to the TCP/IP stack... Windows is misleading us by giving us the option to enter another one on a different NIC, "In the end, there can be only one."

I remember playing around with hosts before, not sure if that was what did the trick. I'm hoping to find some info that is a bit more general than my specific issue, & research the pertinent points. The sites I looked at from the FAQ were... less than impressive. :(
