I have an ethernet nic and a token ring nic in my netware 5.1 server. The token ring side is configured to hit the internet. I want the ethernet side to as well, but i have to use static ip on my ethernet side. how do i configure the ethernet side to reach the internet?
 
try giving your ethernet nic a private ip like 192.168.1.x and use the same subnet and gateway that the token ring nic is using. not sure that this will even work but it's worth a shot.
 
Do each of these NICs have a different TCPIP addressing scheme? If so, and you are using INETCFG, you can setup a STATIC ROUTE that will forward data to the IP Address of the other NIC.

Good Luck!
