Hi all.
My girlfriend's PC is connected to a 10/100 switch which is connected to our router. The reason there's a switch is that she also has a network printer in her room which we both use.
But now I've bought a gigabit router/switch and I have a spare gigabit NIC which I want to put in her PC so she can connect to the network with gigabit speed as well. I want to use the mainboard 10/100 NIC to connect the printer to.
My question is, can the secondary (mainboard) NIC be bridged to the main network and get its IP through DHCP? I want to be able to keep using the printer as well.
