Starband Internet Networked??

[Vette]

Is it possible to use three network cards in a computer? I have a customer on Starband and Starband by itself uses two network cards, one incoming and the other outgoing. He is wanting to connect Starband to his network and I know Winproxy for Starband will work. Problem is when I install a third network card to connect to a switch, the computer sees it,it's working and you can configure the protocols, but when you reboot, the tcp/ip protocol won't stick to that network card but they will to the other two cards. It's a D-Link DX-530+ network card that I'm installing and I have even tried a second card in case the first one is bad. This may be one of the biggest problems, it's all on a Win ME machine. Any ideas? I've taken everything out of network configuration and everything comes back including the problem. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />

Vette, You might want to try running this question over at the <a href="http://WWW.DSLREORTS.COM" target="_blank">WWW.DSLREORTS.COM</a> SAT Forum.

What OS is the Starband system running? In W2K Server you can set the system up to act as a router, so in theroy it would appear that you could have multiple nic's installed in a system acting as a router for differnet subnets, I have not tried this but it's worth looking into. The 64 million dollar question would be weather the Starband software works with W2K Server??

Good luck

Yes starband will run just fine on win 2k server. I have it running on that right now actually.

This customers computer is not WIN2K or is it a server. He is using Windows ME. I figured out the problem anyway. Case closed
