I normally have 1 network card. I can either connect to my other pc and use it as a lan or i can plug in my intenrnet and have cable internet. Well i got another network card (NIC) and wanted to put 2 of them in the main computer so i could stay on the internet and have a lan without having to manually change the cords. ( i dont care about getting internet on the other pc). When i have both cards connected, one of the cards always says it cant be used because "the network did not assign a network ID" and it says " some or all of the functions of this card are not working." I clicked repair connection but it did nothing. Any ideas on why or how to fix this. I can get the exact error message if its needed but i didnt feal like putting in the other NIC and getting the exact error message right now..
