Hi

Ive looked through some old threads but can't seem to get a definiative
answer for this. I have two PC's, each has a wifi NIC to access the internet
and a standard NIC which connects the two PCs via a crossover cable for
large file transfers (as shown below).


PC - A

NIC1 (DHCP - SUBNET 255.255.255.0) ----------WiFi----------> ADSL ROUTER
NIC2 (STATIC IP 10.0.0.1 - SUBNET 255.0.0.0) ----Crosover Cable----> PC - B


PC - B

NIC1 (DHCP - SUBNET 255.255.255.0) ----------WiFi----------> ADSL ROUTER
NIC2 (STATIC IP 10.0.0.2 - SUBNET 255.0.0.0) ----Crosover Cable----> PC - A

When I enable all the adaptors I can transfer files but cannot surf the
internet. Im guessing because windows is trying to reach the internt on the
internal network and not via the WiFi adaptors. Is there a way to rectify
this?

Thanks

Set the Default Gateway to the router IP address for the 10.0.0.X
addresses ensuring they're on the same subnet as the router and the
router isn't either 10.0.0.1/2
