Hello
How to connect one RJ-45 cable from a LAN to my Windows 2000 computer and
one outlet from another LAN to my computer and to another computer for my
computer to use resources of both LAN's and the other computer use only the
second LAN? I have one installed Network Card and a Network Switch - 3Com
OfficeConnect Switch 8.
I can get access to both networks interchangeably now by inserting the RJ-45
cables to my installed NIC. IP address and address of DNS-server are got
automatically in TCP/IP properties. How to get access to both networks at
the same time?
What is a cheaper way to get resources of the both networks for my computer?

I am not sure the issue, but you may just add another NIC.

Thanks for your reply.
How to know if the two LANs will not conflict with each other on one
computer. Why did domain administrators install a second computer for the
second LAN and connected it to the same monitor, keyboard and mouse, instead
of just installing a second NIC?

I successfully installed the second NIC - TRENDnet MEDIAnet USB To Fast
Ethernet Adapter TU-ET100C. First 10 minutes I could get access to network
resources through it, but now any of the two networks, connected to it, is
not accessible. Both networks are accessible through first NIC
interchangeably. I unchecked "Register addresses of this connection in DNS"
in both NICs properties.
How to get access to a network through TU-ET100C NIC?
ipconfig /all shows that DHCP is allowed, a default gateway is the same
172.31.144.1 and DHCP server is the same 172.31.0.10 for the both NICs,
IP-routing is turned off.
