Hi All,
I have a windows 10 PC running a network on:
SMB 1.0/cifs Client
SMB 1.0/cifs Server
I have to keep this option because of hardware connections!
Can any wise network guru person explain to me how I can run 2 separate networks from one PC?
This is my setup:
I have a 1 gigabit Router
Connecting to a Netgear ProSafe 8 Port Gigabit Switch
Model:GS108
With 8 PCs connected to the switch
All is working well for internal LAN and internet access.
What I want to do is:
Put one of these networking cards into my current PC:
10-Gigabit ASUS XG-C100C PCI-E Network Interface Card
PCI-E network Adaptor RJ45 connection.
And another one of these NICs in another PC
and buy a Netgear 10-Gigabit unmanaged Switch and
Connect my PC to the switch and the other PC to the switch.
So, when I am transferring huge amounts of date, I can use the 10 gig connection
And the rest of the time when I am transferring date to other PCs on the network it will use the 1 gig connection and same for when going on the internet.
I would like to Map a network drive for the 10 gig NIC
So, the 10 gig NIC would be used and not the 1 gig NIC.
I don’t know how to set this up?
If you are reading this and know the answer would you keep it simple in your explanation as I only have a basic understanding how networks work.
That is why I am here asking the question?
Thank You.
