2 Network Connections on XP Pro

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.configuration_manage (More info?)

I have Windows XP Pro

I have 2 networks at home

- Dedicated Cable connection to this PC only

- ADSL Connection that feeds a Router.



Is it possible to have 2 nic cards one that goes to my Router to gain
access to my internal network and another for my dedicated Cable
connection?

I really wouldn’t even need to access the internet from the LAN
connection.

Any thoughts?

Because I need a PC on a Cable connection that is outside of the
firewall but I want to be able to print from my local Lan

Well I have two nic connections on my mobo, they can both be enabled, though
I only use one.
via reuter for cable/network/print server. The nic's are from different
supplier (nvidea + 3com)
Not sure I follow the 'outside firewall' part since the firewall is on the
PC
