Using 2 network cards
- Thread starter mviltan2

You can enable one NIC and disable another if necessary (usually not).
Furthermore as paraphrased from:
You can disable a network card in W98's Device Manager using "Disable in this hardware profile", but there may not be any need to do it. Respondent had a Windows Me/2000 dual-boot computer with three network cards installed and running simultaneously.
He recommended not to use the same make/model for both so that you can tell which one is which when you configure the network.
No TCP/IP issues - as long as the two network cards are in different subnets, there should be no problems.
