Hi,

i have 2 nics in my win7 system, NIC 1 connect to leased line and NIC2 is connected to organization LAN for internet. Both the ip add are in same subnet. when both the cables are plugged in to nics, leased line link connected to nic1 goes down. It wouldn't come up untill the cable from nic 2 is plugged out. can some one plz explain me what is causing this issue and how to resolve it. Basically i wish to be connected to both the networks simultaneously. THNX

In simple terms you have two doors that look exactly the same. Windows is closing one door so it can open the other.

Technically you should have different subnets which means you leave the wan nic the same and change the entire lan subnet to one that is different from the wan.

You may be able to get away with just doing a static ip assignment to the lan nic but do not put in a gateway entry. This should give you both for access.
