| 48721 | 2002-05-13 19:44:00 | Hi , Does anybody know if is possible to have a host computer with two NIC's in it,with different ip address on each card with different id tags thus having two client 'machines' on one machine but sharing the same resources.. I want to be able to connect to two other computers to the host, with two crossover cables. So that each NIC in the host has a crossover to the single NIC's in the clients.??? |

If you want the two client machine to be able to share their resources, you will need a bridge between the 'two networks' on the host. I understand WinXP can bridge two networks. | Guest (0) | ||
