I'm using comcast with 2 seperate external ip's. They feed two routers and each router feeds multiple computers. I have been trying to bridge the two networks so that I can share data and printers. I been trying XP bridge with no luck. I setup one computer with 2 network card and connected each card to each of the two routers. Not sure what ip or subnet is needed or if i'm even going down the correct path. Can anyone give me an idea of what I could do to get this setup would be greatly appicated. Thank you.

XP is not designed to be a router. Why don't you connect the 2 routers together and bridge through them? As long as they are on different internal IP networks, it will work. What are your internal IP networks?
