Help Need with multiple subnets

I will be the first to say I am not an networking expert. So I am here asking the experts. First someback ground on my problem.

3 x T1 therefore 3 subnets
10.1.10.1
10.1.20.1
10.1.30.1 as examples
5308xl switch w/3 VLAN's (one for each subnet)

Right now if I am on subnet 1 and want to copy something on a server on subnet 2 all the trafic goes out through our WAN and back in again. This is very very slow. IS there a way with the 5803 or Windows to allow all internal routes with those 3 subnets to not go thru the WAN but stay within the lan?

I hope this makes sense?
If you need more info just email. Thanks!

Re: Help Need with multiple subnets

CDN_Error_Repair,

Yes, more information is needed. Depending on how your OpenVMS hosts are setup, you should be able to define specific routes within the LAN, without going through the WAN.

What is needed is your network topology, and what systems are at what IP addresses are on what VLAN. What is probably needed is for one or more hosts to be on more than one VLAN.

BTW, this is the OpenVMS forum, was this intended to be posted in a different forum area?
