What do you mean? You just want to connections? Just plug in each in a different NIC. Then your computer will have 2 IP addresses. So you will have to reconfigure your browser or disable one NIC card.

if i understand you correctly then you most likely you want to set up a vpn (virtual private network) connection to you work network - that way you can route all traffic from that domain through the vpn and the rest through the other connection.

But setting up a vpn requires your work to have the abilities and hardware to do so, and it needs to be configured correctly.

When all set up you will have one connection to work and another to the internet. The work connection will be secure as long as the vpn server is set up to use a secure protocol. These two connections will quite hapily run side by side.

To help people understand i have re written my problem>

situation is we have two internet connections comming into the companys network, ok one is a British Telecom Supplied ADSL connection connected to a server which then is connected to a 16 port switch the other is a Secure Broadband Connection it can only browse to one address it comes in thru a 5 port hub connected to a 16port switch, each workstation now then has 2 nic cards installed, but i im finding it difficult to get two connections running on each computer, they have to remain two seperate connections but still run alongside Eachother at the same time, see work is transfered from head office via the secure connection every hour and important emails arrive all the time thru the ADSL, i really need an inexpensive way to runn them together, actually i have soem how got it to run slowly on this workstation i dont have a clue what i did but software would be helpful if anyone knows any brands!

Use two Web browsers
Like
Mozilla 1.7
Firefox 1.0

C prompt ipconfig /all to see the ips

Type the seperate ips in the two browsers
