here is the situation,

The problem computer has 2 nic cards, one onboard one generic pci both 10/100. The primary is plugged directly into a personal cable modem, the second is plugged into a switch which is in turn pluged into a router, the router has another cable modem plugged into it. What I need to happen is let the primary nic card handle all internet activity while having the second nic be used for network activity. Right now its kind of a **** shoot on some programs which modem is being picked used. I'm currently running Win2k sp3, and the network consists of about 8 other windows boxes with almost every flavor 98 to XP.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

You have to separate the subnets if you're running two modems. Use 192.168.2.xxx for half the PCs. Set your default gateways too. Do not use DHCP unless you have to.
