simultaneous multiple network access with single NIC

[steve]

Is it possible to have simultaneous access to multiple
networks utilizing one NIC card? I understand use of the
Alternate Network Configuration works if the DHCP server
is not attached or is down, but not if it is active.

I want concurrent access to two networks (192.168.1.x /
255.255.255.0 & 192.125,9,x / 255.255.255.224

Thand you!

Yes, it's possible. Configure the network connection for the NIC with
two static IP addresses: in the TCP/IP properties, configure the first
one, click Advanced, then click Add. Connect the NIC to a hub or
switch that has connections to both networks.

Thank you very much!

I did not want to have to do it that way, but this avoids
using a second NIC card!
