One computer on 2 networks

Hi All,

I have a computer that has 2 NICs, each connecting to a different network.

NIC1:
172.30.204.100 Static
255.225.252.0

NIC2:
192.168.1.10 Static
255.255.255.0
Def Gateway: 192.168.1.254

Through NIC1, I need to have access to LAN resources: 2 printers, 2 web
servers in the intranet, a file server, a POP3 server. Those resources are
all 172.x.x.x. NOT all of them are 172.30.x.x

Through NIC2, I need to have access to the internet.

Access to internet through NIC2, is working well but, to have access to the
LAN resources, through NIC1, I've been having to do manual route add, for
each resource. Resources are added constantly. All I know of these
resources, is that they all start with 172.... (this looks like a Cert
exam!! :-D ) . My question: Is what I've been doing (Route Add), the
correct solution or, is there a better way to do it? There's probably more
information missing here (my apologies for that). If that's the case,
please, let me know what other information is needed, to find an answer.

One other thing: When I tried to enter a default gateway for NIC1, while
keeping the one for NIC2, I got an error message stating that I should only
have one default gateway and, effectively, network communication fails, if I
keep both.

Thank you all for the help. Have a great day,

Frank
