You shouldn't need to make any windows config changes but.......
As you're with NTL you'll need to register the 2nd nic when you attempt to
go online, in the same way as you did with the 1st one when you started with
them. I think they'll allow upto 4 nics registered to each account at any
one time.
I can't remember the exact procedure for doing this, maybe they've given you
some info. If you're lucky then any attempt to connect to the www using the
2nd card will lead to your browser going straight to the registration page.
Make sure you have your PID and other NTL information available.
There's also the option of setting up the 2nd card with a spoofed MAC
address so it looks to ntls servers as though you're connecting using the
1st card. I won't go into the hows and whys as I think the first option is
less messy.
