Configure multiple NICs on a single NAS device.
Configure multiple NICs on a single NAS device.
Hello, I'm trying to connect my gaming PC and a NAS using a 10G network. Right now I use the Intel NIC for internet and local devices, but I also have a NAS with an Asus 10G card. I want to add another NIC to my gaming machine so both networks can communicate directly—like assigning IPs such as 192.168.2.2 and 192.168.2.3. Should I set them up in Windows LAN settings under their adapters? Let me know if that works.
Im not too good in this field but it should work since you can have multiple network connections on most computers using wifi and such. Youd probably need to set up a dhcp to give out ip adresses if you dont wanna set them up with your existing router. Or you could make a cross over ethernet cable so they could talk directly to eachother. As i said im not super good with such these this and this is all i know
Search for cross-over cables. They are a unique Ethernet wire that enables devices to communicate with one another.
You can simply plug in the nics, configure a static IP on Boath, and it should function properly. This method is no longer valid; standard cables are now sufficient.
