I want to share files between 2 private networks. Each network has its
own dhcp server, router, etc. and they wish to keep it that way. The
networks are close enough to run a cable between. Would it be possible
to install 2 nics in a server and share the files that way while
keeping each network isolated from the other?

I wouldn't put two NICs in a domain controller, otherwise you will be
inviting trouble. You can do it with a non domain controller, such as a
member server or even a non-member. You can also (recommended) purchase a
dedicated router.

Instead of the website you're using, try using OEx (Outlook Express
or any other newsreader), and configure a news account, pointing to
news.microsoft.com. Anonymous access. It's free - no username or password
required nor do you need a Newsgroup Usenet account with your ISP. It
connects directly to the Microsoft Public Newsgroups. OEx allows you
o easily find, track threads, cross-post, sort by date, poster's name,
watched threads or subject. It's easy:

Thanks for replying.
We'd be using a standalone server for this. I just want to make sure
that each network is iosolated and secure from the other and that both
will be able to access a common share.
