I've been having weird issues with setting up a routing table. Our company network recently changed, and chat programs are now blocked. My goal is to have certain IP addresses go out of 1 NIC (external), but everything else go through the internal NIC.
My main issues is that when I plug in the external NIC, I can no longer access internal sites, even if I have them routed. For example, I've done a tracert to our company internal main page. The data is:
IF 11 = Internal
IF 17 = External
internal IPs = 192.168.*.* and 10.*.*.*
internal gateway = 192.168.1.2
route add 192.168.0.0 mask 255.255.0.0 192.168.1.2 IF 11
route add 10.0.0.0 mask 255.0.0.0 192.168.1.2 IF 11
The internal NIC has a metric of 1, while the External metric is higher.
However, as soon as I plug in the external, even with these routes, I cannot access the internal network anymore.
This seems pretty straightforward, can anyone see some obvious flaws?
