yes, normally you should just add the second nic and it will make a new network connection. (can't you hook the linux box up to the web and put the windows box behind the linux box?)
THANK YOU
even though it would be far better for the windows box to be behind the linux box
( linux is by itself (with out a fire wall) a better fire wall than most fire walls for windows )
it would be linux'es fault every time the windows user ran into a broken web page
the windows user has a hard time just turning the computer on and has called on me to help with that
( and has even deleted the system files from a dos box while running word 5 from with in word 5 )
I'm always nervose about doing any system work on a windows computer
least at any tine it might eat it's own tail and die
do i use use the add hardware wizzard or the network wizzard or both to install the driver for the NIC ?
what protocol do I add for simba ?
what client do I add for simba ?
what service do I add for simba ?
will I get a chance to give it an IP address to use with this connection ?
( so that linux knows what to do with it )
I can do it on linux in my sleep I have something rock solid to work with in linux
plain text configuration files (something I can control not a so called wizzard that almost dose as it damn well pleases )
well I'm off to read some HOWTOs

just go to "my computer"->"Control Panel"->"Add/Remove Hardware", although most hardware comes with an install.exe (if it does then you just need to run that, usually no need to go through the Add/Remove routine)
there you can add the nic. As for firewall: use kerio personal firewall. You can configure it on ports/address range(like iptables) as well as on application range. It's also free of charge.
It is called Microsoft network sharing I believe, you add that as a protocol to the nic. (I don't have windows in my house so I can't check the correct name :P ) You don't need to add a client or service, it's all in explorer and the network neighboorhood.
You must give it an IP, that's all in the properties of the network card, select TCP/IP, click properties. (To get to the nic go to my computer->control panel->networking it's called in win95 I believe)
Make sure to not have selected encrypted passwords on the linux samba server.

THANKS
ok so its a pretty simple deal I keep finding info on the linux side but veary little on the windows side of simba
and once more thank you
