Two Networks at the same time

For various reasons we have two entirely separate networks that we do not wish to create into one big network. Is it possible for me to connect to both networks simultaneously ie one through a cable connection and one through Airport, so that I can use one for internet access and the other for file sharing?
As I understand it, the cable and wireless network cards in my emac are two separate entities, each with their own MAC address, so shouldn't this be possible in theory? One problem might be that I don't want to create a bridge between the networks that would enable computers on either side to see each other.
Any advice gratefully received.
Dave.

Hi Dave,
Yes, you can connect to the internet and your LAN at the same time. The following article explains various ways of doing it.

  • Can I be connected to two networks at the same time?

    Hi there
    I have an imac desktop with 10.5.8 running. I have a wireless network with my timecapsule and a printer connected to it. We have two mac computers in the house
    that print wirelessly via this network. I also have the internet coming in via a wireless modem/wifi which both computers use to go online. The trouble is everytime I want to print from either computer I have to change back and forth from the internet/network to the timecapsule/printer network. This is really fumbly and I wind up having to restart all the time because the printer gets locked up. It's just a big hassle. Is there any way I can be on both of these networks at the same time or is there some other way I can configure this?
    Thanks!

    Is there any way I can be on both of these networks at the same time or is there some other way I can configure this?
    Yes, you can reconfigure the Time Capsule (TC) to "Join a wireless network." In this case the wireless network would be the one created by the other wireless Internet router. In this configuration, the TC can still share its internal (and external) hard drive and a printer attached to the USB port. However, note that this would disable the TC as a router and an Ethernet switch so basically it will perform as a wireless client.

  • Connecting to two networks at the same time

    Hi Kadin,
    I am looking for the same answer for a long time. I have two situations that requires to connect to two different metworks and that is when I travel with my portable Linksys router WRT54GC .
    1. I stay at a hotel with a wireless Internet network connection and I try to use the network to access the Internet and then (2) I also need to access my external Maxtor harddrive to which I am connected through my portable router WRT54GC .
    2. I have an almost identical situation but instead of the hotel network now I have a brand new T-Mobil cell phone made by ITC, which is called Wings and it uses a new way to connect my laptop to the Internet by using a Windows Mobile 6 Internet-share connection, which basically connects my laptop to the T-Mobile network and assigns it a IP address.
    The problem that I have is that in both cases I can connect to each one of the networks separately but not simultaneously.
    Any advise as to how this can be done. I also tried the Wireless WET54G as a bridge with similar negative results.
    Thanks,
    Pole

    Ok not real clear on your setup, but here is the "networking answer" why you can not connect to two networks.
    A device must have an IP address on the same subnet of the device you want to establish a connection or an IP route must be known to the network routers, since your internal address are most likely in the reserved private range, no internet router is not going to know how to deliver the packets to the correct hosts.
    the simple answer is assign a secondary IP address to the network adapter on your laptop.
    In the windows IP address properties for secondary address you can not set a default gateway. Windows only has 1 default gateway.
    good luck

  • HT2736 Can I gift a song to two people at the same time so I only have to go through the process once?

    As the subject says can I gift a song to two people at the same time so I only have to go through the process once? For example can I enter two seperate email addresses in the "To" line seperated by a semicolon like I can in Outlook?
    Thanks for the help

  • Cannot open two pictures at the same time - computer crashes

    I have PSE7 and Windows7.    I cannot open two pictures at the same time.  When I go to open the second picture it crashes PSE7.  Anyone know how I can open two pictures at the same time?  What is the fix?

    Hello Shawbrah
    Thanks for your reply.
    Yes, your method is actually the only workaround for a workplace with PSE7, but it isn't a solution for our enterprise network/domain.
    There are different problems:
    We have several computers with PSE7 installed. It does not make sense to manually install a local TCP/IP-printer on each PC.
    We have many fluctuation in our company which means that the workplaces will often be moved and the PCs will often be replaced.
    If the employees are printing over a local printer, our centralized printer monitor solution does not recognise print volumes.
    The printers which are defined on our print server have special tray settings and these settings are "linked" to the core business application. Users should not be able to print with other settings, this could end in a chaos.
    Finally to work with PSE in our company, there is no other way than upgrade to PSE8...

  • Singletons running on two servers at the same time

    Hello,
              we faced one interesting situation with our application, running on clustered BEA Weblogic 9.2. We implemented some Singletons (ie. Singleton Service in a Weblogic cluster) and they are running fine. Most of the time.
              Common scenarios: cluster is started -> the singletons run on one server; the server is brought down -> the singletons are started on the second server.
              However, we had recently two situations where the Singletons started on both servers! Here they are:
              1) We use Database Migration Basis and we have a dedicated table for Weblogic to capture current state of the singletons. Due to the fact that database (Oracle RAC) was partially available one of the Managed Server could not get the lease and probably assumed that no singleton is running, therefore started the singletons locally.
              2) Network outage: we had several minutes where none of our servers could communicate between them (neither between SASU MS nor with the database). Consequence: each MS decided to start the singleton locally (after some time, which I assume is the waiting time). Once the network came back the servers could communicate again but the duplicate singletons are not deactivate, so they are running in parallel.
              Anyone experienced the same or similar issues? How to prevent the above? Is the Consensus Migration Basis a better choice? (I think yes for #1 but not for situation #2).
              Any helpful answer is appreciated.
              Thank you, best regards,
              Remus.

    In general its not a good idea.  Running PSConfig will try to establish a lock on the configuration database.  Doing that from two servers at the same time may cause the update to fail.

  • How do I get the Time Capsule to run both 5GHz and 2.4GHz networks at the same time.

    How do I get the Time Capsule to run both 5GHz and 2.4GHz networks at the same time.

    Thanks for digging out the facts.
    You have a 1st Generation Time Capsule.
    Your model can produce two bands....either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz....but not both simultaneously.
    You would need a Generation 2, 3 or 4 Time Capsule for simultaneous dual band capability.

  • Write a progarm to test two parts at the same time

    Hi:
    I need to write a program in LabView that is capable of testing two parts at the same time.
    Explanation:
    I star the test on a unit, once all the electrical test is done move that unit to the pressure test without loosing the current test information and continue the test of the unit thewn generate a serial number only if it passes all the test. Then while the previous unit is going thru the pressure test star testing another unit for the elecrical test and so on.
    I am using LabView 2012

  • One again, "can I use CC on two computers at the same time?" - in practice.

    I know this has been asked before and all those threads are locked. Many asked the question, but I haven't found a satisfying answer yet.
    Can I multi task with CC?
    I want to have my laptop next to my desktop. And while I render, export or whatever my newly shot documentary on the laptop I want to work with a music video project on my desktop. Then when the render is finished I render the music video and go back to the laptop and continue on the documentary. Or maybe I just work 5 minutes on the desktop music video, then come up with something brilliant for the project on the laptop and switch. Back and forth. Will that kind of activity result in any kind of limitation, usage-wise?
    So, working on Premiere on my two computers at the same time.. is it possible? Technically? I know the EULA says "only one person". But will it let one person mutli task?
    I need to know this before I buy. sorry for asking this again, please bless me with a clear answer

    Hi Jimmy Crim,
    Yes in case of Creative cloud subscription you are allowed to install and use the cc apps in any two machines.
    Even if you want you care allowed to use these apps together in both the machines.
    Thanks

  • Can I access two websites at the same time?

    Does Dreamweaver have the ability to open two websites at the same time?
    I basically have a CMS hosted on one server, that connects to my clients sites on other servers. I want to be able to open files on one server and edit them and also edit files on another server at the same time.
    If this isn't available in Dreamweaver, then I think it should be. I often need to copy code from one page in a site to another page in different site. To have the ability to have two windows open, each connected to a different website server would be invaluable to me. By having separate windows, each can have its own server connection. I don't know how easy that would be, but I'd love it!
    Cheers
    Glynn

    You can only connect to one site at a time.  And you need to edit files locally, save & then upload to the remote server.   AFAIK, no single FTP app is capable of connecting to more than one server at a time.  You might be able to do what you want with DW open and an additional 3rd party FTP client like Filezilla, each connecting to different servers.

  • How can I open two libraries at the same time on itunes?

    Hey i need help on opening two libraries at the same time on itunes. I don't know if that is possible but need some advice if its possible. I already have several libaries but I need to compare labaries at times due to various users on my computer. Please help .

    Not that I'm aware of. What exactly is that you want to achieve? There are tools for scanning media folders and adding any files not listed in the library, or deleting those that no longer exist. There are also ways to use one library for multiple users so that any tag update gets applied for everyone.

  • How can I start two Vi at the same time?

     I have two Vi's, each of these Vi has a stop button. I want to start these two Vis at the same time. I also want to be able to stop the two Vis at the same time. What should I do? Thanks.

    One way to start them is with an Invoke Node and the Run method. You can then stop them with the Set Control Value [Variant] method. When you use the Set Control Value [Variant], you just have to specify the name of the front panel control that stops the while loop. Older versions of LabVIEW only had the Set Control Value method in which you had to use the flatten to string function to pass the Type Descriptor and Flattened Data.

  • How to make this two things at the same time ?

    Hello
    When my mouse is on a area, I need :
        -  to show a object (a rectangle inserted with the toolbar)
        -  to show a caption
    I think it's not possible to do this two things at the same time when I use the rollover functions (Rollover caption or Rollover Image).
    I would like to use a button, but the button works only if I click it, and not when I just pass my mouse on it.
    Someone have an Idea?
    I can't use Javascript.
    Thanks

    Rick is correct.  You can use the Rollover Slidelet's rollover area to trigger an Advanced Action.  You'll need to create this Advanced Action with two clauses.  One to SHOW the caption, and the other to SHOW the rectangle.
    Your alternative to the rollover slidelet is to use an Event Handler widget attached to the object that the mouse should roll over.
    The Event Handler will detect when the mouse is over the object and trigger its own Success criteria.  You can then use the widget's ON Success event to trigger the Advanced Action as mentioned above.
    More information about using the Event Handler here: http://www.infosemantics.com.au/adobe-captivate-widgets/download-free-trial-widgets
    An example of using it to do two different things on the same object can be found at this web page: http://www.infosemantics.com.au/adobe-captivate-advanced-elearning-tutorials/beat-adobe-ca ptivate-interactive-catch22
    Trial versions of the widget can be downloaded from here:  http://www.infosemantics.com.au/adobe-captivate-widgets/download-free-trial-widgets
