Yes, it will work.
The biggest problems would be that your routing table may show both
links as your preferred default route, and that will mess with Internet
traffic. Check the routing table via 'route print -4' and ensure there's
one preferred default (destination 0.0.0.0 with the lowest metric).If
there are multiple with the same metric you can set interface metrics
under the network connections \ device \ IPv4 advanced properties. If
both networks have an internal DNS server (providing addresses for
internal resources) then name resolution may be odd also - you may have
to use IP addresses to access resources and be sure of which ones you're
opening.
This configuration is a potential security risk - if compromised this
machine could be used to access a restricted network and in a corporate
environment would be considered a breech.

If I have a computer that's using one NIC (wired or wireless)

network, can Windows 7 access both networks?
For instance:
NIC0 - 192.168.0.10
NIC1 - 192.168.1.10
Can I connect to two different servers at the same time - one at
192.168.0.99 and one at 192.168.1.99?
Well it looks like it works for me. I have a laptop connected to a
wired network and a wireless network, and I appear to be able to
access both routers and ping devices on different networks. Cool!
Anyone know if there are any caveats on this?
