Hello,
I'm having some problems with a 4 port ethernet pci card i recently purchased for my home server/router.
My setup is a PC running XP Pro SP3 with 1 Gigabit onboard ethernet port and 4 100Meg ports on the PCI card. I use this as the router for 4 computers on our home network.
Originally i used a single port pci card with the internet running into it and a switch connected to the onboard port. This shared the internet connection fine. I wanted to remove the switch to use less power so i purchased a RouterBoard 44 PCI card.
The problem is the connection can't seem to be bridged across all four ports. I currently have the net connection coming in on one of the four. The pc connected to the onboard port works fine but the other three connected to the pci card can't access the connection. Any ideas?
