2 lan cards on 1 machine

iv connected 2 lan cards on the same machine but i cant them both to work together :?:

any ideas, both work individually

What are the IP settings for both? And how exactly do you want them to work?

PCI slot problem maybe
try one at a time on both slots and see if slot is workin fine.

There shudnt be any problem in using 2 or more lan cards. Do u use one for lan and other for net?

1 is for internet (broadband) so it has its own ip config & the other is for local network and therefore has its own ip, but when i connect the cable to it the network icon still appears with the red cross

individually both cards are working fine

^^ Could we have all the details? IP/Subnet for each card, network topology?

edit: i got it to work, damn i just changed the ends of the cable i was using

, damn

thanks for the help anyways guys

oh is that correct???
i was thinkin both ends works same for cross cable ethernet.
Now can u explain which color coding for server and the client??[server as the one with internet nd client as one which shared the dns]
