Ummm, well, likely you can. Both cards have to be on the same network, not one on 192.168.100.x and another on 192.168.1.y unless th netmask is set up like 255.255.0.0. If you try to have a separate DMZ style network as well as a fully protected local, then SNF will barf. I know this is not true of most routers, but the fellow who spec'ed that aspect of SNF is awfully good at security. Civileme
