Re: Adding second NIC



With some trepidation, need to install a second NIC in my XP workstation so
my MFC dialog based app can talk to a barcode reader with a LAN port.
Any good advice BEFORE I start?


The existing NIC MUST continue to function as is to a plant network!!!

Barcode reader with a LAN port? Probably not.

If it's like most other Symbol barcode wands, that is an RJ45 plug that has a few pins for RS232 and a few pins for power. You won't get anywhere connecting it to an Ethernet card...
