Hey,

I am trying to set up a ClearOS Multi-WAN / Loadbalancer Gateway for our clients in my hostel.( G" V3 u9 V) u- K0 L

Some of my questions might be RTFM, but I'm still trying to figure out which manual that might be.

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: L/ y) f5 i3 A3 Y* J" aThe 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.5 h0 u5 g6 ~5 E' d% |/ ]$ s8 \

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 (?). x! e: T; V3 x$ S

But that's not where my trouble starts.

Other computers (Windows & Mac) do get the IP's from the modem via DHCP without a problem.1 i' Z! H2 i9 ]6 v, n/ d7 F

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.
* }! }9 h1 K! p. L) DI 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 8.8.8.8

Any hints on where I should start?
