Hi everybody,
as far as I've got a pretty nasty Nas4Free server, I'd like to use it in order to make video conversion via FFMpeg but I am not able to connect to the internet.
Here' s the configuration:
MacPro with 2 ethernet ports:
-> port 1 with static id and connected to a router
--> ip: 192.168.1.1
--> mask: 255.255.255.0
--> router: 192.168.1.254
-> port 2 with static id connected to the nas
--> ip: 192.168.0.1
--> mask: 255.255.0.0
Nas4Free server with 1 port
-> port 1 with static id and connected to the MacPro
--> ip: 192.168.0.2
--> mask: 255.255.0.0
--> router: ?!?
I've tried turning on Internet sharing on the MacPro with no results.
Here's the question: how have I to configure the machines in order to make the NAS connect to the internet?
Thanks to all for the kind replies.

Re: Trouble in internet sharing
why not connect the NAS directly to the router too?
don't know how to enable internet sharing on a mac, only Windows PC.
with "router" you mean "Default Gateway", so you'll have to add you Mac's Port2 IP to the NAS Default Gateway ("router")

Re: Trouble in internet sharing
Quite simple: I have all the router ports filled, no one left!Fire wrote:why not connect the NAS directly to the router too?
Moreover the router is 10/100 whilst the Macpro-Nas link is Gigabit with a cat6 cable: the difference in terms of transfer rate is astounding.

Re: Trouble in internet sharing
my advice would be: buy another gigabit switch
not really expensive
