Can anybody help me with a question setting up 2 lan cards on my dell 4600 XP home
i share my internet connection that is on another pc in my house that is connected to my pc through a hub. what i want to do is have 2 lan cards on my machine so that i can connect to the internet and connect to another network in my house, but whenever i install my second card i cant get online and i run ipconfig and there will be about 4 Tunnel adapter Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface that i have never seen before and i end up having to do system restore to get it back to normal.

I forgot to add in that i have 1 on board netowrk chip and i want to install a PCI networking card
 
Buy the correct reuter, connect modem to reuter and pc's to reuter

actually to resolve the issue first verify.....

1.) the chipset on your onbaord lan controlle
2.) the chipset on the network pci add in card you are trying to us

make sure these are different manufacturers. that's right different. this is a situation where you never want the same manufacturer to provide both pieces of hardware. it seems to run counter to what you'd expect for compatibility but nothing but problems arise when trying to use more than 1 lan adapter from the same manufacturer. sometimes a different revision of the chip will avoid conflict but sometimes not. so.... 3com, linksys, intel, broadcom, and via should all play well together but not 2 of the same
