HI,

i would like my workstation which is running wxp pro and
who has 2 nics installed, to connect to two different
networks who have each their own internet connection...

i installed everything like i think it has to be, but he
refuses to go to the second network... can even ping the
server on that network...

configutarion...

network 1
gateway server 192.168.0.1
my workstation 192.168.0.20 (fix)
subnet 255.255.255.0
is normally my default gateway..

network 2
gateway server 192.168.10.1
my workstation 192.168.10.20 (fix)
subnet 255.255.255.0

what do i do wrong??
is it possible??
is it possible to connect to a webgui on network 2??

thanks for a solution for this problem..

You can assign two static IP configurations to your network
connection. Assign the first one as usual in the TCP/IP properties.
Click Advanced and add the second one. Be sure to specify the IP
address, subnet mask, and default gateway for each one.

Click the DNS tab and add the DNS server for each network.

I'm sorry, but I don't know what a "webgui" is.

I'm sorry, but I must have misunderstood your original question. I
thought that you wanted to connect to two different networks at
different times. That would only require one NIC, which could be
configured for both networks. Connecting to two networks at the same
time requires two NICs.

The two IP addresses that you assigned are in different subnets, so
there should be no problem accessing hosts on both networks at the
same time. However, Windows XP will use one or the other, but not
both, to access hosts on the Internet.

Disconnect the network that's working while troubleshooting the
network that's not working. Then have the computer ping itself, ping
the server, ping other hosts on the network, etc, to find out where
the problem is. See if other hosts can ping your computer.

Thanks Steve,

installed the nic again but this time with the driver
diskette and it works now...
