RE: One computer two different networks

Are these Windows workstations?  How about using a virtual machine linked to
a second nic in the machine?
Not sure if that is secure enough?

I think MS is now giving away Virtual PC 2004 and VMWare is doing the same
with their base product.


Hi all,

(First of all I want to apologise if I am misplacing this question, if so
I'd appreciate if anyone could point me to the right direction)

So here is the situation:

We have about 250 computers that are isolated in a high-security network, we
want to give internet access to those computer users without compromising
the secured network...of course our first thought is to buy 250 computers so
the users can switch between computers (one for the secure network, one for
internet)... but that might not be most practical solution...

So, I've been looking around and I've found a product called DATAGATE, from
Tenix which works as a "Data Diode"... looks interesting... but I'd like to
have a second opinion...

Does anyone know about other products or techniques on how to accomplish
this??

thanks!
