I am trying to find out how to use two NICS in one win98 pc to access two networks in the same building.
Each network has its own I.P. addresses range and the first network's i.p.'s cannot be changed due to the router they connect to.
network 1
==========
I am using win98 on the clients.
The server is novell 3.12
network 2
=========
A win98 network whose clients talk to each other using microsoft networking.
I have two separate networks in one building.
I want one of the clients on network 1 to see the other network. I understand i need to put two NICS in one client, but how do i configure the settings in win98 to also see network 2 so the user can see both networks. Also, will the user have to log into both networks?
The reason i am doing this is that the internet proxy server is on one network which has its own i.p. addres range and the user concerned wants internet access!
Thanks
Alex.

You can probably even do this with one card, assuming that both "networks" are running on the same hub or switch.
You may need to change your IP routing table so that the addres of the proxy server resolves to the interface that uses the approproate gateway. You can test if you have done it correctly via tracert.
If the 2 networks are logical, not physically separated or connected thru a router, you can use both TCP/IP and IPX/SPX on one NIC. You will have to install client for Netware software on the IPX/SPX clients.
Are you using Microsoft Proxy 2.0? If so, you can install IPX/SPX on the Proxy server allowing IPX/SPX clients to access the Internet thru the proxy. (Whereas the proxy server functions as a gateway between IPX/SPX on the internal LAN and TCP/IP on the Internet). In this case you will have to enable the router to route IPX/SPX.
If you do have to use 2 NICs, with one configured with both TCP/IP and IPX/SPX, and the other configured with TCP/IP, you will have to alter your routing table like qwaletee says. This is because the client will have a default gateway and send all traffic not destined for the local subnet to that address. While some destinations might be reachable only thru the other NIC.

Under the bindings you can bind each card to the network(IPX/SPX or TCP/IP) you wish to have acess on. However, you will need to log on to ech network as you log on to the respective networks.
