- It should be a simple matter to define each of the network adapters to have
- a different address and put 2 addresses for your host in the host file. You
- may need to assign a different subnet to each network card rather than simply
- a different host address, but one or the other should work fine. This is a
- standard feature of IP.
-
- Once the network cards are set up, you infrom the other nodes that they may
- route through the dual-ported node to access the folks on the other side.
