You're right.  My RaQ2 has only one NIC, and so only shows Network 1.

My RaQ3 isn't turned on right now, but I'd bet it shows two networks, 1
and 2.

The key is which card you're configuring.  The card facing the world you
already know about, I presume <smile>.

The card facing your internal network should be configured for a private
IP address (192.168.x.x is one of those private network blocks).

Each card will only see what it's connected to.  The real issue is not
what you receive, but what you transmit.  But your outgoing gateway
won't transmit your private numbers, and your outgoing secondary NIC
won't have any such numbers on it.

So things will probably work out in the wash.  Now if you have to set up
your RaQ to route... that I don't think is in the gui <smile>.
