Hello,
I have just installed two nic cards in my computer...the reason for this is
the VPN I use locks out "internet" and networking features of my computer.
The idea is to be able to run the VPN on one card and still be able to access
other services through the other. XP set up seperate network addresses for
each of the cards but when I run the VPN I am still unable to get the
anything to work. I was told this soulution would work and everything seems
right, is there a feature I have to activate or something else I must do to
be able to simultaniously use two cards on two seperate networks. Thanks
everyone. Deb

Deb,

you don't need a second Ethernet adapter. You only need to
deactivate the setting in your VPN connection that directs all
Internet traffic through this connection.

This setting should be in the advanced TCP/IP settings of the
VPN connection and is related to the standard gateway of the
remote network. I don't have the exact wording on hand, but I
hope you'll find it anyway.

Thanks for responding...I wish it was that easy but the VPN I use does not
allow me to adjust the settings as it hook into a corporate netowork...any
other ideas? Thanks,

Deb

Deb,

if you use some third party VPN client software then the problem
is probably in that software, so nobody here will be able to
help you. (We don't even know what software it is.) You could
ask the company's network administrator for help.
