Hi,
I we are running SBS2000. We are building an application
which will connect to a 3rd party vendor via a private
point-to-point frame relay connection.
Our internal SBS network is on the 192.168.16.0 subnet and
the private network is on the 192.168.64.0 subnet. We
have a webserver which will recieve requests, contact the
private server, get a response and send it back to the
client. The webserver has an IP on the internal and
private network (it essentially is straddling both
networks). I have added a static route on the webserver
sending all requests for a certain IP to the private
network.
>>route add xxx.xxx.xxx.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 192.168.64.1
From the webserver, I can successfully ping the private
3rd party server via our private network (tracert goes
through the private gateway). When I run the tcpClient
app (called from the webserver), it tries to connect via
the internal gateway (with the static route, it should be
using the private gateway). Why would pinging route
properly but the client not? Is there something I need to
do at the SBServer level to force all requests for the
private network to the private gateway? (I thought the
static route would handle it)
I'm kinda stumped...
