Nic1 wired to camera. Nic2 wireless to Internet. Nic1 and camera statically set to 192.168.1.98 and .99. Gateway for Nic1 left blank. Nic2 gets 192.168.1.xxx via DHCP from gateway 192.168.1.1. Gateway does not assign DHCP above .95. I fully expected to be able to see the camera from any computer on the 192.168.1 subnet, but nooo. Can this be accomplished? Thanks!

Hi,
You will not be able to see the camera from anything on NIC2 because there is no route between them. They may both be attached to 192.168.0.0/16 networks but they form two separate networks with no path between them. This can done on computers running Windows Server through the Routing and Remote Access role but I do not know if it can be done on consumer versions of Windows. The simplest solution that I can think of is internet connection sharing, but I do not know if that will work.

Is NIC 1 somehow attached to the router and did you assign the static address of NIC1 and camera in the router static table with their MAC addresses?
You may be able to bridge the two wired adapters in the network control panel on the computer that has both NICs, but they do need a route between them as Pinhedd says.

I didn't want to specify the gateway for nic1 because I read that only one nic should have one. Although I think I did try to do that and things hung up. I also tried to specify the ip of nic2 as the gateway for nic1, but still could not see camera from other machines. Thanks for the tip about bridging. I didn't think WinXP had that feature, but it just so happens that this machine is Vista. Let me give that a try.

It would seem to be most simple, if you don't want to always have the computer on, to get a 5 port switch and attach everything to the switch right next to the back of the computer and then set those two addresses in the router as static and it should all work fine, although you really don't need the second NIC if you do that.
And you can bridge NICs in XP like THIS, which is pretty much like Vista/7/8.
