The new BA4 has 2 NICs (IPs 45 and 49) whereas the old BA2 only had one NIC (IP 45)

I've set the fast download for the steam servers to be the second NIC (IP 49) on BA4 rather than the old IP (IP 45)

What this means is that the downloads will not happen on the LFS/netKar NIC and consequently won't interfere with their gaming :)

Good idea. I'll swing all the web and MySql stuff that way too so .45 is purely for gaming.
