Here is my set up:% u- k; E; h$ z" F# A7 A
I have 3 ADSL connections (2Mb, 1,5Mb and 1Mb - from 2 different ISPs) which I want to use all together to provide access to the internet to our clients via WiFi and a few stationary PCs./ l" ] R, i2 h8 S. A3 O
The server I want to use has a total of 5 NICs, so I want to use 3 of them to connect to the ADSL modems, 1 to a switch to connect the access points to and the 5th to a switch to connect the PCs.

5 D2 {4 D% Q# v3 F! M0 A4 lAs I am in Bolivia, I have no access to the ADSL Modems, so I am stuck with their configuration all of them using the same IP range (192.168.0.x) and Subnet (255.255..255.0), I hope it will still be possilbe even with 3 NICs in the same IP range (?)., F; ?4 F2 u* E l0 l, M

Interfaces eth0, eth1 and eth3 are set up to be the "External" interfaces, I have to give them Static IP's because other wise they will not pick up an IP address from the modems. Other computers (Windows & Mac) do get the IP's from the modem via DHCP without a problem.

I read that 2 DHCP servers on one network are not the best idea, but I guess if the network is created with that NIC and I connect a computer directly to that NIC it should get an IP?8 b& v2 K) [ J' K+ E) O

Then, even if I assign a fixed IP to the computer connecting to the LAN interface, I don't get routed through to get out on the net. I can't even ping 8.8.8.8
