You can set up your NT box to act as a router and make the empeg accessible from your network.
* Install the second NIC.
* Give it an IP address on a different subnet than that of your office network.
* Give the empeg an IP address on the same subnet as your second NIC.
At this point, you can use the empeg from your machine. Now for the good stuff -
* Set the default GW on the empeg to be the IP address of your second NIC.
* On your PC, go into TCP/IP properties, and check 'Enable IP Forwarding'.
* From a command prompt do 'route add' with the necessary parameters (if your not familiar with route, you can look at the command line help. If you still have problems, send me a private message on the BBS).
Anyone that you want to access the empeg will also need a static route set up.
Once the static routes are set up, anyone in the office should be able to access the empeg.
A couple of things to note -
the empeg won't be visible in network neighborhood without some hacking (installing Samba).
Use of the main network DHCP isn't possible, 'cause the empeg will be on a separate segment. You could run a small DHCP server on your machine and serve only the empeg's, but then you'd have to worry about how people on the main network would find out the IP address after it changes (ie, using dynamic name resolution). IMHO, in this case, a static IP would be easiest.
Hope this helps.
