Hi,
My company have installed a new phone line with broadband in my home office and I am now using that for work - via a router using wireless to my laptop and same router via an ethernet cable to my desktop.
I have kept my "home" phone/broadband account and have moved that to a cheaper tariff - because my two teenage boys are using that for WoW and who knows what else! They are wired into the old router for that and I can plug into that as well with my desktop - which only has one LAN port - Asus P5B.
My question - I would like to access the internet via my work router but would also like to have a second network that allows me to share a USB printer attached to my desktop and also share some file space on my desktop with the kids. I have a PCI network card somewhere and am running Vista 64. I am not sure how to have two separate networks on one PC and make sure one goes to the internet (although both networks have that capability)? Any pointers?
