Hello again, Thanks for the informative replies that you all have provided me. I have changed my project around a bit, and instead of having two separate subnets connected to two switches, I now have one subnet, with a single node connected to each switch, and the multihomed NT 4.0 machine connected to each switch. Both of these nodes are running Windows 98 SE. The network configuration is essentially a 10BaseT Ethernet star topology. The purpose is to cause this NT machine to be able to connect these two switches in such a way that one node may be able to communicate with the other. I am attempting to do this purely for academic reasons, given that I have just begun studying networking, and I am new to Windows, and I feel that this would be a good exercise to undertake. Yes, I have enabled IP forwarding since the beginning, though I am certain that I have left much undone in my considerable inexperience in this area. At any rate, my current configuration still doesn't function in the least. I have searched the web for information on this topic, and I have read the NT manual I have for this machine; however, it provides little assistance. If anyone knows of resources which will aid me in this particular problem, it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks again, Yogensha

Hello, I am trying to cause my NT server to act as a bridge between two different subnets, connected to switches, so that they may communicate with each other. Since I am exceedingly new to Windows in general, I am somewhat puzzled. Does anyone have any information or know specifically where I may find the answer to this problem? I've read the manual for some time now, as well as reseaching the matter on the Internet, though I've come up with very little. Hopefully this will serve as a good supplementary source of information. Thanks for your time.
