Re: Can't connect to 2003 server from XP after bridging NICS

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I forgot one thing. Sorry. I want to use on the XP system. 1 nic connected at
100mb to the internet and the other nic connected at 1000gb directly to the
2003 server. I large data transfers and the rest of my network is running
100mb. Hopes this help. Thanks for the replies.
