Cabling is working, and i'm out of ideas as to what to try. The subject implies that you are connecting both NICs to the same subnet. The simple answer is that this won't work-- it's not useful. A more complex answer is that you could configure the DHCP server to give a different subnet mask to one of the interfaces using a host entry specifying the MAC address of that interface. What are you trying to do? -- -Chuck
