Alright lads...

I'm having trouble with my home network. I have 3 PCs linked togeather as follows...

PC A --> PC B by cat 5 crossover cable
PC B --> PC C by 2 wireless USB network adaptors

as PC B has 2 nics I'm having trouble connecting to PCs A and C at the same time. one will connect perfectly if I disable the other connection (using win2k pro.) however when I connect the 2 at the same time, I can only communicate properly with the first connection (the second connection can ping PC B but not the other way round) any ideas?

you'll likely get better answers in the MS software forum. I'd guess it's a windows routing issue. Try messing about with the route command and checking that both cards have a correct subnet and route associated with them. It'll show it's syntax if you just type route.
