I 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.
. f' f; c" E9 I; [# [The 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.; I' `% w/ t7 k5 Y
6 E7 [5 a4 M$ BAs 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 (?).

Interfaces eth0, eth1 and eth3 are set up to be the "External" interfaces, I have to give them Static IP's because other wise they will not pick up an IP address from the modems. Other computers (Windows & Mac) do get the IP's from the modem via DHCP without a problem.& k4 \2 w) d: V- L1 Q

For the "Internal" interfaces I try to set them up with DHCP servers and fixed IPs but anything I try to connect won't pick up an IP., G' p8 w; o: P; C6 w s
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?
! V2 L5 D) }% p ?2 [$ Q
' @9 l; Z0 F9 oThen, 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 8.8.8.8. f5 E J* @, h4 _4 b6 x
