Hi, I am using a Windows XP Pro and got two NICS on my pc i am just wondering
is it possible to connect to two separate networks A & B which got two
separate Gateways, i am trying to achieve as follows:
1) First Nic is connected to Network A LAN and provide all sorts of Internal
services with its Own Internet connection.
2) Second Nic connected to Network B LAN network which provides its own
internal services and Internet.
I prefer that my Internet is routed through Network B and rather then A but
i am not sure how to connect two networks on my pc, i dont want to go on the
VPN route so i am wondering is there some settings i can work on like adding
static routes ?? through Net route ?
help would be appreciated.
thanks
 
You can connect to two networks. However, you can't connect to the internet via two NICs. For example, to go to the Internet the routing table point to 0.0.0.0. Event if you have both routers point to 0.0.0.0, the internet access goes just one direction.
