    Connecting 1 PC to 2 Networks Simultaneously
    Hi

    I want to run a network for my pc's and laptop then have a 2nd network with only my xbox 360 and connect one of my pc's from my first network to my xbox's network for music and video sharing. So my question is can 1 PC connect to 2 networks simultaneously?

    If you need more info just let me know.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    The answer is Yes. It absolutely can. If you can stick 4 NICs in a PC then it can also connect to 4 Networks. If all of your NICs only connect to ONE network and only one NIC is used for reaching the Internet (i.e. only one NIC used for a default gateway) then generally you won't have many problems. Just remember NOT to put a default gateway on the NIC that is facing your XBOX.
