    ill keep it short ...

    One pc - 2 nic's

    one conencted to lan for games @ 10mbit
    other connected to a m8's machine via xover for leeching @100 mbit


    it didnt work

    Machines have XP pro and 2k pro

    i did notice when i have the xover cable connected it stopped me from seeing the lan game servers


    is there a simple way this can be done or does it involve some hub/switch/routing ?


    thanks ;)

    it should be a matter of setting up a software network bridge on the win2k machine(forget xp)
    then let both networks see each other,on differant sub-nets.
    saying that it *should*work with minimal work and tweaks

    Yup, that's right. Basicly you need em on differet subnets. If not, windows get's a bit confused as to which card to use.
