Hey,

I am trying to set up a ClearOS Multi-WAN / Loadbalancer Gateway for our clients in my hostel.( t( j0 T9 ?" V" ?/ y

- U9 V$ J6 b0 Q& b! x& rI have 3 ADSL connections (2Mb, 1,5Mb and 1Mb - from 2 different ISPs) which I want to use all together to provide access to the internet to our clients via WiFi and a few stationary PCs.
3 Z( q2 q, }2 G) i, rThe server I want to use has a total of 5 NICs, so I want to use 3 of them to connect to the ADSL modems, 1 to a switch to connect the access points to and the 5th to a switch to connect the PCs.
. K& L3 B4 i: N* j& T! A: b! w! { ?# _9 k# |2 \0 k7 Y2 U/ j7 ?7 ^
As I am in Bolivia, I have no access to the ADSL Modems, so I am stuck with their configuration all of them using the same IP range (192.168.0.x) and Subnet (255.255..255.0), I hope it will still be possilbe even with 3 NICs in the same IP range (?).1 b) A l- d. H! ]9 [

But that's not where my trouble starts.

I read that 2 DHCP servers on one network are not the best idea, but I guess if the network is created with that NIC and I connect a computer directly to that NIC it should get an IP?

Then, even if I assign a fixed IP to the computer connecting to the LAN interface, I don't get routed through to get out on the net. I can't even ping 8.8.8.87 ]( f; U5 X4 Z1 I- d7 ~/ \
