Solve : Using a computer on two networks simultaneously?

1.	Solve : Using a computer on two networks simultaneously?
Answer» I need to use some of my office computers on two different networks. Both the networks are on CABLE and provide static IP addresses. I have gone by the tips given on another thread and put two NETWORK cards on the PCs which need these connections. Now I am able to connect only to one network at a time. Network A has to be disabled to be able to connect to Network B, and vice versa. Is there a solution to this problem that will let me stay connected on both the networks simultaneousl? I need to use only Internet Explorer on Network A and Outlook Mail on Network B.Quote from: ganeshnag75 on JULY 14, 2012, 09:13:02 PM I need to use some of my office computers on two different networks.

Can you not join the two networks with a switch? Or something similiar.As I understand, a switch does not assign IP addresses, it LEAVES it to the server to do the assigning. In my case, I have two different set of static IPs for the two networks. Can a switch be used in such a scenario?I believe with static IP's for each network, you will 2 LAN cards, one for each network.With Windows, at least, you cannot control which network connection is used on a per application or per service basis.
