2 Internet connection in one computer

[gphang]

Here is my situation. I'm on a corporate LAN which is behind a firewall. In my office I also have a DSL connection (no way connected to corporate LAN). Is it possible to have both running so I can simultaneously view intranet/access the corp network and use the DSL? If so.. how can I configure this.

Ask your corporate network admin. If it's not allowed, and I'd be surprised if it were, then I wouldn't suggest trying a workaround.

Get a second PC, w/o a LAN connection.

Depending on what you mean......

lemme make this out:

1) You need your corporate network
2) You have authorized access to a DSL connection within the office
3) You use some sort of networking program to access the corporate network via TCP/IP

Agreed with Cipher - Don't do it!

By having one NIC going straight to the Internet and one to the corporate network, you might as well be inviting hackers to break into your company through your PC. If you really need access through the DSL line, keep a separate PC on that line for that use ONLY. Putting in two NIC's like that would be a firing offense at many companies, especially if you knew better.

i'd have to agree. that's a good way to get fired.

Yea if you are your own Admin do it. Install the NIC for DSL make sure file and print sharing are not enabled for the DSL connection. Disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP for the DSl connection then install a software firewall like Zonealarm. For more information about security and setting it up go to Practically Networked.com.
