P50 Router/2 Computers

[Crash Dummies Consultants]

I have a Pipeline50. We have a network set up with two separate computers
and the router on the network. I get a dynamic IP from my ISP. The problem
I have is both units cannot be on the net at the same time.

I am connected as follows: Unit #1 Network card to HUB
Unit #2 Network card to HUB
ROUTER: 10BaseT port to HUB

On Unit #1 in TCP/IP is the following
IP ADDRESS
IP: 192.168.33.32
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.33.33

Unit #2
IP 192.168.33.31
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.33.33

Using Unit #1, if I telnet into the ROUTER (192.168.33.33) and dial in with
that unit, then Unit #2 cannot get on the internet. I can ping Unit #1 and
ping the ROUTER, but I cannot ping anything else.

Using Unit #2, if I telnet into the ROUTER (192.168.33.33) and dial in with
that unit, then Unit #1 cannot get on the internet. Once again, I can ping
Unit #2 and ping the ROUTER, but I cannot ping anything else.

Do I have to have a static IP in order to be able to have both units online
at the same time?

Thank you.

Hi,

you need to set up Network Address Translation (Ethernet->NAT->NAT).
In this menu you set Routing=Yes and Profile='your ISP connection name'.

If you have not already done so, you may have to set up
Ethernet->Static Rtes->Default->Gateway to be the IP address of your
ISP's gateway. One of my ISPs refuse to give me their gateway IP
address (for security reasons) and I have successfully used a dummy
IP address instead.

Hope this helps,
Aidan
