Re: Can one keep networks apart on a machine?
You shouldn't have any problem doing per-adapter setup under NT.
The biggest issue I can think of is routing, since NT wants to do all
of that automatically, but I think with appropriate choice of IP address
and netmask, you can make it work OK.
I kind of like the suggestion from a previous post that this ignorant
net admin of yours be brought to task over his administrative decisions.
Isn't his job ultimately to provide a network infrastructure that makes
end-users more productive? Seems to me that his draconic "nothing
but NT" stance runs counter to this. And this at an institute for higher
learning and enlightened thinking... what a shame.

That's basically what I was thinking about, but I didn't know if the two
could be kept apart under NT. Even not being a network-type of person I know
Linux will easily do that, but NT is a new environment for me. I have a
feeling that I may end up jumping into an NT group for help on the details...
yech.
Thanks Marc!
