luke.mccormick Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I don't remember the brand, may have been 3com(however doesn't make sense with next statement)Cisco had some in I believe one of their blade routers or a firewall. It was a while ago sorry i can't provide much more info. may even have been 3 interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoon Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 not possible to have both IP's active at a time. You can however write a batch file to change the ip settings on the fly. Do a google search for changing ip address with a batch file.Why don't you just put a second NIC in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CptMurphy Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Why don't you just put a second NIC in it?I was gonna say just that. Save yourself some time and buy a second NIC. If you need to, just bridge them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueSpear Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 3Com, Intel, and Broadcom all make PCI based NICs with dual interfaces. I've difficulties bonding the interfaces on a 3Com, but no problems at all with Intel and Broadcom. With all three you can set the interfaces independant of each other no problem at all. The cards tend to be rather pricey as they're aimed at the server audience and for some reason almost anything server oriented is always triple the cost.Another option would be to get a motherboard with dual NIC interfaces which seem to be more and more common these days. Personally, I would avoid any nForce board because their NICs are just a complete PITA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeball Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 do you mean that you have 2 ips on one NIC?if so maybe you have settings under the "alternative configuration" of your network card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueSpear Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Technically speaking, it's two NICs on a single PCI card, but yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeball Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 lol rougespear, yes your right with your technical jabberings, i meant 2 network interfaces on a single card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecretNinja Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 open the tcp/ip settings on your nic click on advanced and then you can add 2 static ip's 2 gateways on 2 subnets. unless you need to ahve physicly seprate cards this is the most logical way of doing what you want.

RogueSpear Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 It could be that he wants one computer to be a member of two different subnets as a router, gateway, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawan Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 You can use Microsoft Virtual Wi-fi if you have multiple wi-fi network.I don't think there is any utility like this for wired network.Pawan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thern Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 well i use also linux debian sid (unstable) and i have two interfaces on single ethernet card in my config interfaces.confif someone has smth to do with linux/unix know that there is smth like aliasing...you can bring interfece 'eth0'and next you can bring 'eth0:1' wich mean you can have two IP's in one hole technicaly they say it's "two interfaces on sinlgle ethernet card", see:man interfacesor /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples/network-interfaces.gzi thought in windows (nt5) can be done smth like this...i remember when i use vmware, it installs two or even three 'virtually' interfaces...i have already two NICs but i need a "hole" in my switch open the tcp/ip settings on your nic click on advanced and then you can add 2 static ip's 2 gateways on 2 subnets. unless you need to ahve physicly seprate cards this is the most logical way of doing what you want.well, this can work.... ;D thanksmust chek it...btw. d-link has four NICs on single PCI... this is smth nice toohttp://www.rlsupplies.co.uk/Products/Product.asp?id=158051 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
