WinXp Networking

[hmelendez]

Hi, I have a problem maintaining connectivity with 1 of 2 networks
configured on 1 PC.

The network with no issues is local. My pc is plugged to a hub that is
plugged into a switch on the local LAN.

I configured a second static IP address on the same PC and a second
gateway. But at some point I lose the ability to access this network.
The only way to resolve this is to delete the second static IP and
Gateway, then recreate them. When I do this I am once again able to
access resources on the second network.

I am Running WinXp Pro, attached to a hub that is attached to two
separate switches. 1 on the local LAN the other switch is attached to a
router on our WAN.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
