Connecting to 2 wireless networks

Well, Heres the situation, I have 2 networks from which I need to connect to wirelessly, through the same computer, Is it possible to make 2 wireless connections like this? Or will I need another wireless adapter? And If I can connect to the second, How?

What wireless hardware do you have right now?

And if im reading this correcting, you will need two different network cards to connect to two different wireless networks. They will need to be different subnets if you want to access both network (this means that most home networks use 192.168.1.x so you have to becareful with that)

Another point/question to think about (and let us know) would be whether you would need to connect to both of them at the same time, or one for a bit and then the other....

If you want to swap between them, then it should be fairly easy. If you want to be able to get onto both simultaneously, then it isn't as simple - but should still be possible - and you would need to get another wireless card/adaptor...one for each WLAN......
