I need some help.

I have a small network of 15 computers.
I have a NT 4.0 Server SP 6 with two of the same model isa 3com network cards
installed in it.

One is using thin net.
The other is using cat 5.

I have configured both cards with different IP's on the same subnet and the
server under network neighborhood only sees the cat 5's. Likewise only the cat
5's see the server.

I then configured the cards with different subnet masks. The server now sees
both the cat5's and the thinnets. The cat 5 workstations see the server and only the other cat 5 workstations.
The thinnet workstations see the server and only the other thinnet workstations.

I have printers attached to the workstations that I want to be able to share with
both the cat5's and the thin nets. How can I get the thinnet workstations to see
the cat 5 workstations and vice versa.

Thank you

Okay what you actually have be doing (and that is very smart) is solving your problem for 50%
With the action of changing the subnet you crated two networks.
Now your NT Server is sort of a Router but not yet installed as one.
What you have to do is switch the router function on for the NT Server
heck this sites out for HOW TO:
