Double Network Cards

[silvz7105]

Hello All,

I am wondering if thsi setup is possible on a Windows 200 SP4
Machine. I would like to use a Dual Network Card setup such that one
netwkr card is sued to connected to the domain at my office and the
second card can be used to assign a static IP address and connect my
PC to a PLC Controller. I can do this using a single card, but it
involves me disconnecting from the Work network, and over-writing the
TCP/IP settings on the nwetork card.

I need NIC1 to use a DHCP Assigned IP Address, and NIC2 to use the
static 192.168.1.250. NIC2 would only be communicating with a PLC
using a PLC Design/Programming application.

Any ideas would be apprecated.

As long as they are not the same subnet it will probably be fine.

Make sure the second nic does not get placed first in the binding
order,...Net'Places-->Advanced-->Advanced Settings-->Upper box.

Make sure the second nic does *not* get a Default Gateway. It should get
an IP# and mask only.

Tried that. The NIC2 was set above NIC1 in bindings, changed it such
that NIC1 is at the top.

Still not able to get dedicated communication to the PLC. Im thinking
it might be something in the Designer Program that is limiting me.

Time for a tech support call.
