2 network cards

[Decimator]

I was wondering if I could put 2 network cards in my computer. See what I want to do is connect my printer via ethernet through my computer so all the computers on my network can print off of it. This is my setup so far.

I tried to put a new network card in my computer and it took over. The drivers for the original network card were "lost" my computer couldnt find them, I tried to reinstall them but it didnt work, so I had to remove the new one. Any sugestions on how I can get this setupo to work???

This is not highly technical.

That being said, you do not have to connect your printer with an ethernet cable. the regular parallel port is fine. You can add that printer to the other machines though the network. If the length of the cable is the problem, get a printserver.

Ask over in general hardware or networking.
