So I just got a second internet connection installed specifically for a PLEX server and one of the two XBox’s in the house. The PLEX server has been working fine on LAN, but I want to view things remotely. My ISP uses CGNAT due to the world being out of IPv4, so my main gigabit line is unable to host the PLEX server because of the double-NAT situation. That is what the second line is for. The new line has a real IP address, and it is working fine and I can browse the web on it over the new router.
What I am trying to do now is connect NIC1 on the server to the main network where my computers and such are, and connect NIC2 to the new internet line. I want all LAN traffic over NIC1, and internet traffic over NIC2. This means I have to do some static route setup on the server. I have done a static route in the past at work many years ago, but I just followed a tutorial and didnt know much about what I was doing other than it worked in the end. So NIC1 is on a 192.168.1.x network, with the router being 192.168.1.1. NIC2 where I want my PLEX traffic going to is on a 192.168.2.x network with the router being 192.168.2.1. So what would be the best setup to use for the default gateway, and what should I set up the static route as? My thought right now is that NIC2 should be the default gateway, and a static route should be made to say any 192.168.1.x traffic goes to 192.168.1.1. But I dont know much about static routes so Im not sure if that really is best or not, and I am not really sure how to go about setting that up. The server is running Windows 7. Once the static routing is set up in Windows, is there anything I need to do on the PLEX server to make it work on both 192.168.1.x and 192.168.2.x lans?
