Two NICs / Two Networks / One Machine

I'd like to have both of these hooked up, not to run in a "Dual WAN" mode, but in an "either/or" mode. Is this possible? In the Network Connections folder: 1. Right click and Enable the connection that you want to use. 2. Right click and Disable the connection that you don't want to use. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.

Follow up question: Is it possible in this situation to have both connections active at the same time? For example, I also have DSL and Cable. I would like to VPN over the DSL link, but use the Cable for personal email, etc. at the same time. Yes, it's possible, provided that: 1. There's no default gateway specified on the VPN/DSL connection. The default gateway, which is used to access Internet sites, must be on the cable connection. 2. You get permission from the administrator of the network that you'll connect to using VPN. Some companies have a policy against connecting to their network via VPN and to the Internet simultaneously. That can be a security risk, because the Internet connection is outside the company firewall. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.
