2 NIC Not Talking

I want to install a second NIC in a PC, so the PC can talk to both networks.
NIC-A is attached to production network
NIC-B is attached to admin network that's on the internet.
Question: Running XP SP2 how do I ensure that this PC DOESN'T bridge the networks internally?

1. Make sure RRAS is disabled
2. Manually set this registry setting: (if necessary)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\
IPEnableRouter = 0

there not going to be bridged unless you bridge them, and they become one unit, a network bridge.  The trick to doing this and obtainting the results you want is clever route commands.
splain more and draw a quick diagram we'll help with route commands needed to make it all work

What if I was to install something like ZoneAlarm on the PC.  Work it affective block anything to the production network, expect for the PC itself.
That's not really what zonealarm is for.  Although ZoneAlarm is very configurable and highly effective.  The only sure way to protect a network is to ensure that no computer on it has access to another un-protected network.
