Routing question

[user010101]

Is this possible? I have a PC in the office that my boss wants to put a direct Internet line to it and also have it connected to the office network. (local office network traffic makes the remote connection to the PC unusable so we are thinking about getting an extra line)

Basically my boss wants to connect to the PC via VPN while able to access files on a server in the office. I'm just reading on routing (no experience before).

What I think I should do:

2 network cards in the PC. 1 for the Internet line and another to the local office network.

Add routing to the local server IP and add the server name to the HOSTS file?

route add 192.168.1.10 (default)?

Will this work? Thanks in advance! I don't have the Internet line right now so I can't play with it and I don't want to break anything

For the route to work, you need to specify the proper gateway. In this case, your VPN adapter IP on the computer that's going to be dialing in. Also, you could face some conflicts if both networks on on the same subnet.
