Question PC work with one Ethernet LAN card and one TokenRing LAN card?

Mornin' all...

I may have a requierment for a PC that needs to be connected to an office TokenRing LAN for some programmes, but an ADSL Router on Ethernet LAN for mail. Is there any way for the PC/Programmes to know which connection they should use? This is on Win2K Pro.

Cheers

You'll need to have one as the default route - and add static routes to the other for specific servers (assuming the things you want to talk to arent also immediately connected to the same subnets on the toke-ring and ethernet LANs)

As Dsmith says - ONLY one must have a default gateway set up and the IP sub-nets for the other must have static routes added individually.

route add -p 192.168.0.0 mask 255.255.0.0 192.168.0.1 (as an example)

One other thing - make sure that routing is switched off in IP properties or your p.c. will act as a bridge between the two networks.
