I was looking over different motherboards and some have one ethernet port and some have two. I tried to think of a use for two, but nothing came to mind. I then thought maybe the computer could access 2 separate networks? Ok, that probably doesn't make much sense. Can someone tell me what cool things I could do with 2 ports please? 
Thanks thehelo.
