    Connecting 1 PC to 2 Networks Simultaneously

    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.
