Computer needs access to two networks

My company has two networks set up: one for email/internet and the other for plant automation. We have a SQL server with two ethernet cards running WINNT with Service Pack 4.0, I believe.
My question is: we have a computer that needs access to both email and monitoring the automation of the plant. How can this be done without having to change the IP address, workgroup, subnet mask, and ethernet cord every time that computer wants to switch between the two? TIA.

Do you have domains set up? Is that what you mean by two networks?

only thing you can do in this case (easily and quickly without the pain in the butt of reconfiguring constantly) is use a SW called IP Switch. you store multiple IP configs and toggle between the two.
