I am running 2 diff connections, ADSL and Cable, been running it for months.. I just noticed that when I disable one of the Network cards, the other connection gets way faster speeds than it did when there were 2 NIC's enabled in the machine. I have tried many other NIC's thinking it was brand or something.. Maybe there's a setting I need to add? Doesn't seem right that both connections slow down when they are both active at same time...

look at your routing table (route /print).... It may be that you have two default GW's in a multi-homed setup. This is o.k. for redundancy, but I have never seen a system run slower with it. I runa server with 6 nic's in it. 3 internal lans, 1 for ISDN, 1 for xDSL, and 1 for a cluster config. Everything works fine here. Check routing, this is what it sounds like to me.
yes like monlite said you need to check your routing table
i know NT 4.0 doesn't work too well with two GW
i have two nic my self on the laptop, one land, one wireless, but i only able only at the time
beside my DSL has a ten time better hops than my cable, i have to go thru at least 10 to 12 hops before i get out to the real internet, so i cancel my cable
