can I do anything interesting with 2 network cards?

[supernova87a]

Hi all,

I'm here on a high speed academic network, and I've just received an extra pci ethernet 10/100 card for my computer. Is there anything interesting I can do with this? My computer sometimes is used as a workgroup server -- would a second card be useful? Would my computer have two ip addresses then, one incoming, one outgoing? Or how would that work?

Thanks for your advice!

Something even better you could do with that second one is give it to me! PM me for the address.

Anyone else have advice to offer?

If you can get 2 rj45 jacks to the campus internet,hook them both up for more bandwith.
