At a guess, if you are trying to use both BNC and RJ-45 connectors on
the *same* card, it's not possible. You'd need different cards. One for
each type of connector. 

Unless you *need* the two networks to be seperate, just buy a hub that
has a BNC connector. That's how I've hooked my old BNC machines into
the network with my newer TP (RJ-45) systems. 

If you *do* need them to be seperate networks, you may be able to do
it, but you'll need two cards. And probably two IP addresses. Beyond
that, I have no idea.
