2 Seperate networks, one Vista computer with 2 NIC

I have Vista Ultimate; I have two wired NIC cards. I have two separate networks going to two different routers using completely different IP numbers and ISP. Can I use both networks with my Vista computer and if yes, how?

I tried to put routing entries, but the computer seems to only see one network and ignores the other. I guess I am more used to UNIX servers where this is not a big deal.

Any help you can through my way would be appreciated.

Im most likely sure you cannot use 2 ISPs on Windows Vista.

Maybe in Windows Server 2008 you can, but I read that Linux/UNIX has a better knowledge of using 2 ISPs when its necessary.

a BSD box might work. However, again UNIX does a better job at handling the resources of 2 ISPs.

Google " 2 ISPs on 1 PC" and see what you may find, as im not totally educated on this situation.
