I am currently running 2 nic cards in one of my machines. This machine uses dsl for its internet connection and is configured to automatically get its ip & dns. This machine is also running utorrent 24/7. The 2nd nic card is configured to my router's gateway which has 2 other pcs's on it, this nic card is static ip with the gateway of the router no dns specified. This gives this machine access to the network file shares
The problem is that when both are active the 2 machines on the router suffer horrible loss of bandwidth while the "dsl" machine is running torrents. Keep in mind the dsl machine is using the dsl for all traffic.
The only way to make sure the 2 router based machines (connected to cable modem) dont lose bandwidth is to disable the 2nd nic card.
Have I fongiured this wrong?
