I'm trying to setup a small test network on the bench but I'm running in what I think is a routing issue. My network consists fairly basic:
Cable Modem -> Netgear Router -> Office PC's (DHCP), File Server (Static IP).
The file server has 4 NICs on board so I was trying to take one of the other NICs and set it up to be a DHCP server so that I can re-image some machines and not saturate our main network. I was able to get the DHCP working on Interface 2 and I setup Routing and Remote Access, but I can not get the two interfaces to route traffic between the two of them. I can ping Interface 1 from the new network but I can not ping any other device on the "office" network. I did make sure that there was no default gateway setup for Interface 2 but now I'm just spinning my wheels. Here's a quick diagram of my network, any thoughts as I continue to RTFM?
