I run similar to this:

Windows 7 PC

 

1 on-board network card configured to go out the the DMX controller family, and it is configured to 3-J1SYS devices and 3-San devices all in the 10.10.10.X range using Sub-net of 255.0.0.0  The devices are all configured to be in the 10.10.10.X range, and each device has a unique X value.  The PC network card is configured to be in this family and is set to a static address of 10.10.10.200 SUB 255.0.0.0.  HINT the IP and SUB-NET keep the networks separated.   I think the SUB is what is getting you confused.  Make the controller DEVICES all run on the SAME SUB in the same IP range!  Your internet connection or OTHER network will probably use the 192.168.0.X range at SUB=255.255.255.0.

 

The other network card I have in this system is using a local "windows network", controlled by 2 DHCP(s) (DHCP uses the 255.255.255.0 sub-net  DHCP1 has a range of 10-100 on the IP addresses and DHCP2 has a range 101-200), so it obtains address automatically.  That logic is used for the second network card and the WiFi to connect to the internet.  Both networks (LOCAL and DMX) and internet connections through WiFi are working perfect, with no issues.

 

I do NOT use the PC for anything during "SHOW TIME"!  LOR gets all the system resources, network and USB bandwidth just in case!  LOL  

 

Set your New NET card to be in the 10.10.10.200 range (or what every you choose, just keep it UNIQUE) with a SUB-NET of 255.0.0..0 and then you will see the 10.10.10.50 device with the NEW card!  Your other cards will still see the OLD setup information, so LOCAL and WiFi should work like they used to work.
