Installing 2 Nics in XP to share files on 2 different networks

[Guest 1crazyrican@gmail.com]

Someone told me I could install 2 network cards in XP, and connect

each card to a different LAN to allow XP to share files on bother

networks while protecting each LAN from the other. Has anyone done

this?

Try posting your question to the networking group. You will have access to a

wider group of network gurus.

I have done something similiar.......2 network cards both running tru the

same router used one for local network only and the other for Internet

access only.
