Newby help needed to add a second network & combine with existing netw
Hello all,
I have a problem connecting to a second network card as detailed below:
After experiencing problems connecting to the internet my ISP was only able to fix it by disconecting my router and connecting my PC directly the Cable Modem.
Because of this I thought that if I added another network card, I could have the PC permanently connected to the Internet via the ISP on the main network port and my router connected to the PC via a second network port. This is OK in theory but not so easy in practice, all the hardware is in place but I don't know how to configure Win 7 for the router to acess the Internet for every other device and/or printers etc.
Current connections:
Port 1 on PC --- to --- Cable modem
Port 2 on PC --- to --- Router --- Printers
--- TV
--- BluRay player
--- other devices
PC only talks to Port 1 with Cable modem
I am not sure if I have explained my problem properly, but if I have left anything out I will supply whatever info I have missed
System Info uploaded
Thanks for any help
Regards
Oldarnie
