Hello! Yesterday I have talked with one guy and he told me that he needs one more network card on his machine. I did not ask him why he needs this, but I can tell you that I am very curious about this. Can you explain me what for is used two network cards in one machine? Thank you in advance!

Hello! Well, it could be following scenario: that guy has two computers and a cable network. He wants to share internet connection. But, on his machines he has just two network cards (one NIC on the first machine and one on the second). So, he cannot connect these computers. But, if he has on one machine two NICs, one NIC he will connect to modem and second to other computer and he will have two computers networked.
