How to get access to a network through a second NIC?

D

Dmitry Kopnichev

Hello
I successfully installed a 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 my 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.

If both network cards are on the same subnet, you will not get them to work
properly together and should disable or remove one of them.

The third numbers in the NIC's IP addresses are different now, after
disconnecting from USB and reconnecting to another USB port. I have access
to both networks. Although, subnet masks are the same in both NIC's
properties.

Thanks for your reply.
How to prevent both network cards from appearing on the same subnet in the
future? IP addresses are got automatically in TCP/IP properties of both
network cards, therefore, subnet mask is grayed out.

Question - why do you want both cards to be active? Are you actually
connected to two networks? What is the purpose here?

Yes, I am actually connected to two networks. I have access to both LANs
using two NICs now.
Why have I to be registered in DNS in properties of any of the NICs?
