@kimberlin said in Networking question, for a friend...:
@scotth there is not a "regular" network for nic 1. It is a simple communication network between the computer and a command board.
Thinking this through, you're using an IP network capable device. In order to talk they both will have an address. I'm thinking you may at least bandaid this by setting NIC1's default gateway to the machine (command board). Just a guess.
