Dual Network Card's Question

Hi all,

 

I have a desktop PC running windows 7 with dual gigabit nics built onto the motherboard. Is there any way of setting it up so that I can use one NIC for my primary lan and the other for an isolated LAN. My reason for wanting to do this is because I want to be able to connect to the pc via remote desktop on the primary lan and be able to manage some cisco routers on the isolated lan using that PC. So essentially route all remote desktop traffic via NIC 1 and everything else via NIC 2?

 

I could setup a virtual box with a bridged adapter to NIC 2 but I cant really be bothered doing that.

 

Any help on this is much appreciated, Thanks.

Accidentally pooped my pants in the elevator.

I'm taking this shit to a whole new level.

You can, but then you need to make sure the 2 LAN's are in different subnets.
