Will the new computer connect to two Ethernet networks? Why?
Thanks David for your mail.
The new computer will be connected to 2 ethernet networks (conceivably
more).
The reason for the two networks is that my modem-router is electrically
incompatible with one of my computers. That computer freezes or otherwise
misbehaves when one of its ethernet ports is on a network which also has
the modem-router. So i need to have 2 networks because one of my computers
is incompatible with my modem-router: one network contains the modem
router, and one network contains the incompatible computer, and all the
other hosts are on both networks.
What a PITA. Have you tried putting a network interface card into the
problematic computer so that you can run one LAN?
Thanks for the rest of your message, and everything else you have written
in this thread, and thanks also everybody else for all this info which i am
trying to digest.
YW.
David
