2 off NIC card config - LAN/Internet - HELP !!

[Guest]

Hi

I have a w2k PC running on main company network - so IP address etc. is
currently being allocated by NIC for LAN via DHCP etc.

I have a second NIC card which I want to connect up to dedicated ADSL
connection for internet use. Can anyone advise best way to configure this -
as I want all network traffic to go via LAN as normal, but for web I want to
go via 2nd card to it's nominated DNS servers etc.

All help gratefully received!

Thanks
Rod

One router goes to the corporation email server and another one goes to the Internet

Symptoms: you have one router connecting to the corporation for email and the Internet access. However, the corporate Proxy server filters web sites and watches you access. Then, you add another router for the Internet access and want to use the corporate router for the email only, but the traffic always go to the corporation router.

Resolution: You need to modify the routing table. Make all traffic go to the Internet and point the email server to the corporation ip range.

Don't send e-mail or reply to me except you need consulting services. Posting on MS newsgroup will benefit all readers and you may get more help.

You have to stop using DHCP on the machine and statically configure the LAN
Nic. this is required because the LAN Nic must have a blank Default
Gateway, which won't happen if you keep using DHCP. Then the Internet Nic
will use a Default Gateway.

There can only be one Default Gateway,...it's kinda like Highlander,.."There
can be only one..".
