Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Windows IP routing question.
Thought I'd toss this out for comment before investing a lot of time in it since others here know Windows networking a lot better than I do and might have suggestions about Windows capability.

Client has just put in DSL through a Netopia/Caman router providing NAT, because all banking and credit stuff is going Internet now. I've networked all their PCs to it using 192.168.200.n private addresses - except one. Problem with that one is it already has TCP/IP set up to access a remote site through a Cisco router and VPN.

Ethernet card is set up with private address 10.w.x.30, mask 255.255.255.0, gateway 10.w.x.1 (the Cisco). It accesses a single private address in Troy, Michigan, 10.y.z.5, which yields an AIX login.

Presumably there's a way to get requests for 10.213.161.5 to route through the Cisco while everything else outside 192.168.200 range goes throught the Netopia.

Incidentally, every other PC, terminal and printer in the place goes through the same Cisco router to Troy, Michigan, but they're wired serial to port servers that route through the Cisco. There was some reason for setting up this one PC for direct network access, though I haven't remembered what it was yet.

Get Winroute Lite, which is free.

You can put 2 NICs in the machine with the 10. connection - the other with a 192.whatever.1 connection - set up a second IP address 192.whatever.2 on that card, NAT host-to-host from that second IP to 10., then have people telnet to 192.whatever.2 and it should route through to the 10. interface.

This also sounds sort of like a "proxy ARP" situation but that's probably a slegehammer for a peanut.

The easy way is to buy another NIC and configure that on the Cisco's network.

New That was my first thought . .
. . but that takes a second cable. This machine has a second cable available if it's serial interface is no longer used (I'll have to check), but I may eventually have to do this for other PCs there and some might not have two cables available. so I was wondering if I could find a single cable solution.

On the other hand I pulled two cable to every workstation when I rewired this place 3 years ago, so it might work out OK.

New Re: Windows IP routing question.
I'm assuming that the Cisco is on the same physical network as the Netopia.

On the special machine, give the NIC two IP addresses, 192.168.200.n and 10.213.161.5. Make the default gateway the Netopia and add the Cisco as a second gateway.

That should work but if it doesn't, drop to a command prompt and use the ROUTE command

route -p add 10.0.0.0 mask 255.0.0.0 <CiscoIP>

type route /? for more info.
