How??!??!?
Right, imagine this:
<IMG SRC="http://www.steve-cooper.co.uk/murc/bridge.gif">
At work we have a (old, well over used) Token Ring Network, and I've put a few machines onto my own 100mbps ethernet so that traffic between my local machines is nice and fast. However, I need to bridge the two networks so that my ethernet PCs can access the token ring machines.
I have 1 PC which has both network cards in, and if I run win2k on it, and use the inbuilt internet connection sharing, I can access the token ring PCs via IP addresses, but not by their PC names. Also, the token ring machines cannot 'see' my ethernet at all. This is to be expected as all I'm doing is using the ICS' NAT one way from ethernet to token ring.
What I want to do is bridge the networks more properly, but I haven't a clue on how to go about doing this. I see win2k server has a 'bridging and routing' something or other, but I can't work out what to do.
Any ideas/good resources/comments?
