2 NICs in a PC

I have an NT 4.0 workstation that I want to connect to two Ethernet, CAT5 networks. One card will talk to our LAN (using DHCP), the other is a mini-network of medical devices (the devices, as well as the NIC will have static Ips). Once I get the NICs installed, what are ALL the changes I need to make in the OS to get each card to talk to the correct network?

The problem I’ve run into is that on the LAN, our TCP/IP driven programs (Internet, email) aren’t working, even though I’m pulling an IP from DHCP. I get timeout errors when I try to ping my file server.

It’s a powerful PC – Gateway 800 mHz, 128 mb RAM, 20 gb hard drive.
