Using 2 Different Cable With One Ethernet Card!

[MrProgrammer]

Hi everyone,
Here is the situation: In my office computer, there is one ethernet card. But at the office, there is two-cable structure. In other words; to connect to Internet, we must plug the first cable. On the other hand; to use our intranet applications, we have to switch to other cable and make some arrangements in the ip settings(changing ip to a constant value eg.).
I wonder whether there is a way of defining some profiles for ip settings so that we can just switch between these profiles without having to write the ip by hand every time. Or can we achieve these objectives with just one cable?
Thanks in advance..

Probably a matter of letting the internet portion being the controlling setup and tying them together into one. But then you have some security issues.

The entire office network infrasructure needs reviewing. There is no need for this kind of setup.

A typical office setup is:[tt]
ISP / Internet -- firewall -- router -- switch[/tt]

All office PCs would plug into the switch. MS Domains can be also be attached.

2 cable runs seems overkill, as does 2 distinct IP settings.

Internal PCs can run intra- and inter-net applications using private IP addressing (e.g. 192.168.x.x) - anything requiring internet access simply gets routed by the router.
