Connecting to Multiple workgroups

[Jay Moritz]

Is this possible with Win XP Pro?

I am a developer working at a small business and need to connect one of my
computers to the clients workgroup and I also need to maintain a connection
to my other 2 computers on my own workgroup. I do have 2 NICs in the
computer that I want to connect to both workgroups. Is there a way to make
Win XP Pro connect to one workgroup through one NIC and the second workgroup
through the second NIC? I'd rather not put my other two computers on the
clients workgroup because they have personal work and work from other
clients. I just need to access some network resources from the one computer.

Thanks in advance,
Jay A. Moritz

this is a routing table issue. you may try to use route command to modify
the routing table.

Greetings Jay,

Windows supports multiple workgroups but you can only configure and join one
workgroup at a time. You can still access other computers by clicking Start,
Run, and typing one of the commands.

ping \\ ip address
ping \\ computer name
ping \\ computer name \share
ping \\ ip address\share

When you click "View Workgroup Computers", you only see computers in your
workgroup. You can press the Backspace key and access other computers in
different workgroups.
