It is permissable to use 2 ethernet cards, however, only 1 can be active at a time, selectable<br>
through the system software.

Yes. Use one for internet (tcp) and the other for your<br>
printer (Appletalk). <br>
Control Panels:AppleTalk:Select add-in ethernet<br>
Control Panels:tcp/ip:Select built-in ethernet<br>
I just set up a web server like this. One enet goes to the<br>
internet via a tcp/ip router and the other goes to our network so the Mac users can access the machine without<br>
having to ftp into it. Works nicely.<br>

YES, it is possible. I do it myself. I can access both ports simultaneously with no problem. Onboard e-net i use for cable modem, PCI e-net card (Farallon. Got it new on E-Bay - $15) I use for my home network including 3 other macs and a network inkjet printer. No college degree required.<br>
