Network question:


OS: Windows 98 2nd edition:

I have cable modem.
Set up the host with 2 NICS and connected 3 other PC'S in the house. All
works fine using WINPROXY 3.0 1f
Anyway, all the internal IP's are based on the 90.0.0.x schema.

Question #1:

When setting up the DNS for the adapters, should 90.0.0.1 (the host internal
adapter) be used for a DNS address at all?
It was mentioned in the newsgroup somewhere that it should.
It works with or without but was just curious.

2nd, When I use the host system and run my EA SPORTS NHL 2000 Hockey game to
play online games, it always says my IP is 90.0.0.1
Is there a way to force it to use the external adapter to play the game?
That's the only way it will work.
Right now, I have to disable the internal NIC in hardware profiles in order
to force it to use my adapter with the static IP. Of course my son & wife
can't get mail or browse the we while I'm skating on
CYBER-ICE!!!

Any ideas?

Jim in NJ.
