I have a small local area network of 3 computers running XP Pro. The 1st XP Pro Computer has a 2nd network card which is connected a corporate network with a totally different subnet. How can I have pc's on the corporate network access file on the 2nd and 3rd XP PRo PC? Access to the 1st XP PRo PC is working correctly.

Nothing is routing your traffic to the "other" subnet. Can't remember if XP Pro can do it, but traditionally you would need a router in between them. You are basicly describing how most small local networks connect to the internet.

You can bridge the network cards in the one pc which will accomplish what you want.
Question is why would you want to do that since there obviously was a reason to keep these two pcs seperate from the corp network.
Give a person a fish you feed them for a day. Ask a person to internet search and they learn a skill for a lifetime.

I looked into bridging but the 2 network cards will be given one IP address and I so it wouldn't work since I will loose one of the subnets. I just need to be able to share a couple folders on the 2nd local pc. Thanks
