Here is the setup,
Machine 1, my main machine Machine 2,
Remote Machine ( in same building )
Nic 1, Network 1, connects to internet ( Nic 1, Network 1 ) -
possible...
via router.
Nic 2, Network 2, just for VNC to Machine 1
Nic 2, Network 2, just for VNC to
Machine 2
I think I could just do a swap cable between the two nic 2's .
I haven't done much with multi-nic routing. I did a software router /
firewall about 8 years ago..
Thanks, Mike
