With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

Windows XP Single NIC Dual Gateway Setup Config Question.

Asked by ccfcfc in Windows Networking

Tags: dual, gateway, xp, windows

I have two ADSL links at the moment. One of them is the default gateway for my network, with the other running separately as a standby. If my primary ADSL fails I have to do some recabling and change a few IP addresses to move accross to the standby link.

I'd like to have both of these ADSL links on the network at the same time, so that if either fails the other link is automatically used with no manual intervention necessary.

So, would this config work ?

ADSL Link 1 - 192.168.0.254
ADSL Link 2 - 192.168.0.253
PC NIC (Win XP Pro OS) - 192.168.0.1

Under TCP/IP Advanced Properties, I add both of the ADSL link IP addresses as default gateways with an automatic metric.

With this setup, does XP use the gateway that responds first and will it automatically use the other one if the first fails ?

TIA

Rob
