We have all the computers from all 3 houses connected to one HUB, the
first computer in the first house, has windows xp and a rogers
connection, which routes the internet connection via 'Microsoft
Internet Connection Sharing' thats built into the operating system.
That has worked fine up to now. The second house now has rogers @home
set up to it, just like the first house. The second house has a
computer has the internet connection and shares it using the 'MS
internet connection sharing, provided by windows xp. It is the same
setup as the first house. The problem is, the other computers on the
network can only receive internet off one gateway, either from house
#1 or house #2, istn' there a way that we can bridge the 2 gateways?,
windows xp doesn't show the 2 gateways in 'Internet Connections', it
only shows one.
