I have a wireless connection on my WinXP32 PC which I use to access the
internet.

My neighbour and friend also has a wireless network at his home.

I want to install another wireless adapter to my PC for the purposes of
having connectivity with my friends PC.  I don't want to use my first adapter
as I don't (or rather, others in my family don't) want to grant my friend
access to our home LAN (basically so he can't - at least without a bit of
hacking - use my familys internet connection).

How would this work ?   Basically with 2 wifi adapters, I would send all my
traffic to my existing adapter and connection except for certain
protocol/port combinations where I would use the second adapter for that
traffic.

Does anyone know if this has been done before ? Having searched, there's
nothing really out there on this.

If there are no replies, then I will go for my own trial and error and
report back for the benefit of others with similar wacky ideas in future.

Thanks

only if you know which software and IP/web you will access. This case study may help,
