Re: Router setup problem
I'd do as nwrickert  recommended.
Configure Ethernet card 1 as a DHCP client.
Connect your Ethernet card 1 to Router1.
Set up router1 for gaming, no WAN(internet) connection, with LAN address of 192.168.10.1 and as a DHCP server for the 192.168.10.0 network.
Router1 will now serve addresses of 192.168.10.xxx to PCs that connect to it.
Then,
Configure Ethernet card 2 as a DHCP client.
Connect your Ethernet card 2 to Router2.
Set up router2 for WAN(internet) connection, with LAN address of 192.168.20.1 and as a DHCP server for the 192.168.20.0 network.
Router2 will now serve addresses of 192.168.20.xxx to PCs that connect to it. These PCs will be able to access the internet.
Unless you want to share connctions between the two cards, do *not* bridge connections between the cards on your PC.
Note that you can configure Windows Firewall for each LAN card on your PC, so you can customize access to your PC as needed for each card.
