We've got a really basic network at the workplace a single subnet network with 2 internet lines, a primary one and a backup one, we've had some instability on the primary line out of hours and wanted to set up my PC so I could remote deskop through the 2nd line on to my PC at work, from there I can reboot the first router.
Currently the primary router uses port forwarding (NAT) to direct traffic on the RDP port to my computer and this has always worked well. But when I do the same thing on the 2nd gateway I get no connection...
I'm assuming my PC at work simply doesn't know how to reply to that address back through the 2nd gateway, I even added a 2nd gateway address but no dice.
Is this even possible without setting a dedicated PC inside the network to have it's primary gateway as the backup line?
Any input much appreciated!
