problem using more than one gateway

need help on how can i setup two gateway on my win98 pc
and to get it to work properly.
it seems that after the default gateway is offline, i need
to manually initial any tcp connection like opening the
web browser. is that the correct way of initializing the
second gateway?
anyone has a good url on the subject matter?

Are you referring to a DUN connection changing the default gateway and
wishing to use the old default gateway for something? You need to be a
little more specific about what you are trying to achieve and the
addressing scheme you are using. You can't have two default gateways
at the same time with windows but there will likely be ways around
your problem by adjusting your routing table.


Jim.

jim, on my tcp/ip properties, i have installed two
gateways pointing to my two firewall. both the firewall
has its own internet connection.
the reason why i have two gateway was to enable a fail-
over internet connection if one of my firewall is offline.
but it seems that after the first gateway is offline, the
second gateway just doesnt pass my connection to the
servers. i cant login to my nt server and i cant surf.
do i need to have dns service if i have more than one
gateway? does the method of manually initializing a tcp
connection helps?
