Two Network Card in One Machine Problem

PiKe · 6 Jan 2009 at 22:16

I have one network card connected to my router which provides Internet, the other is connected via a crossover to an XBOX, I can access both at the same time without disabling one adapter. Both are on the same subnet, is this the problem?

I don't want the XBOX connecting to the Internet through the PC but to access the XBOX via the PC.

So what's the actual problem or am I being thick.

Are you unable to access the xbox or is the xbox unable to get onto the internet.

I used to use two network cards in my old pc one for the internet and the other to ftp into my xbox.

Only realised around 6 months ago that I could connect both my pc and xbox to a switch and then plug that into my router which is much easier.

If its working then there is no problem.

That should have been can't.

The reason was there was a gateway ip specified on the nic that's crossed over, removed that and its fine now.
