    Here's what I'd like:

    2 pcs both networked together. Each with Cable as primary and Dsl as backup.

    Here's what I have so far:

    One pc (P2 333 Mhz with Win 98)
    - 2 Network cards
    - Cable is primary and Dsl is backup
    - If cable goes out, I click on Dsl icon and Dsl kicks in

    No problem.

    Have a P4 2.5 Ghz with Win XP coming with 2 network cards installed.

    I also have a Linksys router (in the box) from Verizon for the Dsl.

    Questions:

    Do I need two separate routers...one for Cable and one for Dsl?
    Do I need a special router for the cable?
    Will this work?

    Neither Verizon nor Comcast will help me beyond getting initial connection.

    Thanks,
    G.
