[solved] two nic's on same subnet, is it possible?

Hello, my server shares usb gsm internet to local network. I'm using 10mb/s router to distribute internet. Recently i got second nic.
My idea is to connect my main laptop directly to servers 100mb/s nic, and all others connect to slow 10mb/s router. If two server nic's are on different subnets, i can't acces others pc from my laptop.
I want to do that:
                                                                                                  /-----pc1_192.168.0.4
                                          /[nic1_162.168.0.2]<----->[router_10mb/s] -----pc2_192.168.0.5
  [usb-gsm_ppp]<-->[server]                                                     \----pc3_192.168.0.6
                                         \
                                          \[nic2_192.168.0.1]<-----[100mb/s]----->[laptop_192.168.0.3]

but ultimately i just want access all computers and have fast connection between my laptop and server.
I dug up on Internet but  didn't find definite answer.

Re: [solved] two nic's on same subnet, is it possible?

You have 2 options:

1) Different subnets for each network (ie, 192.168.0.x and 192.168.1.x) and enable the "server" to route between the 2 subnets.
2) Bridge the 2 NIC's on the server so they behave like a switch rather than a router. Then everything will 'appear' on the one network. You will effectively create a 2-port switch; one 10mb port and one 100mb port.
