"DNS configuration is something that both cards will have in common. Because of the way that Windows maintains its TCP/IP information, you can't have different DNS settings for each card." I found this out after alot of digging in MS Knowledge Base. So, now I just have to figure out why my little two computer network will work fine one day, but not the next - and then work again without any changes. Does it matter which computer boots first? This is the only thing that changes from day to day. Is there a delay in recognizing other computers on a network after boot up?
