How do i get xp to use two nics (network cards) at the same time, but not for the same purpose. I have a gigabite lan connetion for internet and a firewire connection to my roommates computer. i want to be able to download from the lan and play a lan game over the firewire. Or in easyer terms i want to transfer data from both of network cards at the same time from to different places. The reason is, is that my roommate doesnt have gigabit and gameing work be much faster.

see my answer in the NIC forum. It's not polite to crosspost, at least notify of such.
