Multiple LAN Connections - SOLVED

[1howmanyunamesaretaken?]

Using Windows XP Pro

I've been trying to have multiple LA (Local Area) network connections on my computer.

Specifically, I've been trying to have multiple LA connections such that, depending on what cable I plug in, I could quickly disable the past connection and enable the one I currently need. These LA connections would include:

1) An LA connection for direct cable connection (via crossover cabling).

2) An LA connection for a network where a router leases IP addresses automatically.

Thanks.

Thank you, I got my answer on this site: http://www.bc.edu/offices/help/meta-elemen...lained001.shtml

It says: "Each Network Connections icon represents a different network interface."

That would mean that I would need multiple ethernet cards. (more generally NIC's).

Thanks anyways.
