routing and subnets
Hi, I've heard that a great way to keep up speed for large files over the network (like video) is to run two subnets to every mac using both the ethernet and the airport. So the GB ethernet is for large files and the airport is for general stuff like internet/email etc. Trouble is, I have no idea how to set it up! Do I need a router to join the two subnets? Or can I do it somehow on my Mac server using separate NICs? I am sorry, I am very week in IP theory. Any help greatly appreciated!
Regards, Dex002 |

Mac Method Wiz -- Manager

Re: routing and subnets
That sounds like a nice way of doing things, but I've never known anything to really work that way. I have no idea how to tell any computer to only use one connection for this file type, and another for something else. The Mac uses the first connection in the network list that is really connected, and if that changes, it will just switch. So, unless someone else has done this and can share how, I don't think it is really a possibility.
