| 325936 | 2005-02-17 10:31:00 | situation is we have two internet connections comming into the companys network, ok one is a British Telecom Supplied ADSL connection connected to a server which then is connected to a 16 port switch the other is a Secure Broadband Connection it can only browse to one address it comes in thru a 5 port hub connected to a 16port switch, each workstation now then has 2 nic cards installed, but i im finding it difficult to get two connections running on each computer, they have to remain two seperate connections but still run alongside achother at the same time, see work is transfered from head office via the secure connection every hour and important emails arrive all the time thru the ADSL, i really need an inexpensive way to runn them together, actually i have soem how got it to run slowly on this workstation i dont have a clue what i did but software would be helpful if anyone knows any brands! | pranks7er (7349) | ||

Microsoft suggests (as part of the ULA) that you don't network more than five computers together without a server due to the network overhead created by browsing. The one computer that you have managed to set up was possibly done by enabling bridging between the two NICs. Perhaps with some more details one of the clued up wizards could help :) |
