- home networking problem
- Posted by Smith on August 29th, 2004
I have 2 network cards, and one of them is used to connect to the
internet. As soon as I so much as enable the other LAN connection, the
internet connection immediately stops working.
What's going on here? thanks.

make sure the other nic doesn't have the same IP as the primary.

Probably help if you give more detail.
What OS?
What NICs?
What IPs?
You're using DSL?

Both connections work, but only separately, not at the same time. All

Operating system ?
IP addresses (ipconfig /all from a cmd prompt in the Run box of start
if its windows XP) ?
fixed addresses or DHCP allocated, if so by what ?
outline of LAN structure - what is the internet connectivity etc ?

I've given up trying to network XP. Even when the network did work, it
was slow and often crashed.
I never had any problems networking with win98.

I have never had a problem networking XP. The one thing you don't want to
do is use the Wizard and you should use the classic method of setting up
the XP machine to share files. I use wireless B on the XP laptop on the
network with sharing resources and it clips along very well with sharing.
And even with a Win 2K machine and now a Linux machine on the network, XP
has no problems in sharing resources with any of them and nothing is
crashing.

Apparently not, the OP said that the cards had different addresses. I
was wondering whether it was a Windows 9x system because I don't think
that Windows 95 supported multiple cards.

Saw this message you sent to someone else Duane and as I run Win XP
Pro and have a network card set up in two c'ters I wondered if you
could tell me please what you mean by the "classic" Method of setting
up the XP machine to share files.
Currently the second machine connects to the internet through the main
machine also to the printer but I can't get them to share files!
Both ip configs are different on each machine.

Sorry, I didn't see your post until now. Basically, the classic approach
for XP is the way it's done for Win 2K Pro where there is no Network Wizard
assisting you with the network setup. You configure everything yourself
with Win NT 4.0 and 2K.

Hopefully, the link will help you set-up your network.
The second thing you may want to look into is getting a cheap NAT router
and letting it be the gateway device for the LAN and WAN, which is a plug
it up and go device that needs little or no configuration on your part and
is better protection from the Internet and porvides the ICS too. You can
get a good router on sale for around $30.00
