asus Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 hey im trying to use my tower as a gateway for my laptop my hispeed modem conects to my router V router conects to the onboard network card V notebook conects to pci network card how can i set this up when i run network creator it says there is an error and bot the tower and notebook show network cable unpluged fist off .. what is the point of that.. ?? if your going to do that.. get windows 2000 advanced server, get rid of your router.. put 2 network cards in that sucker.. have the cable modem et cable go to the first network card, then get a switch.. plug a small patch between the 2nd ethernet card and the uplink on the switch.. set up your DHCP server in windows 2000, set up the scopes.. then start a residential gateway..
