Hello
Why connection to outside news and mail servers breaks after adding a second
IP address in the "Advanced TCP/IP settings"? The second IP address is
needed to see a network server. My computer sees the network server when the
second IP address is entered on a general tab in the IP Properties window
only. The connection to outside news and mail servers doesn't resume after
adding the first IP address in the "Advanced TCP/IP settings".
 
You can not, normally, have 2 different IP address per network card. XP
will be confused. If you want to use you PC as a gateway PC to share the
Internet access, you will need to add a second network card.

I don't want to use my PC as a gateway PC to share the Internet access. Our
network administrator said that this configuration works on his computer.
