Problems - Computer? Windows? Switch? Blue Iris/software? Network? guidance requested.

OK, just saw post as tried ip change and save was rejected due to the subnet mismatch.
 
1) Completed the NIC and both now have the same subnet 255.255.255.0
2) Could never change the camera's IP address from 192.168.1.xxx to 192.168.0.xxx using WebService tool.
With every combination below received same error at Save, "IP address and default Gateway are not in the same network segment" and of course Save did not take.

Variations attempted:
- Internet connected, switch direct to router
- Internet connected, switch to NIC2 (couldn't access camera to even make change)
- No Internet, camera direct to PC in NIC1
- No internet, camera direct to PC in NIC2 (couldn't access camera to even make change)

One thing I noticed on Webservice, "Default Gateway" for the camera is the router address, and it can't be left blank like NIC2. What I didn't try was going into NIC2 and put a fake gateway 1.0.0.1 which was the barest minimum (not all zeros) that Webservice would allow. That is assuming Windows 10 wouldn't reject the fake gateway. What do you think.

I think you should pay someone to fix this for you, you obviously have NO understanding of ip, ip routing and networks. You have also failed to follow the simple advice provided here.

So I looked at my 5231 and see what you mean. I put a "fake" gateway in 192.168.0.1 and was able to make the change to the camera ip.
Should be OK. I would use the same address for your gateway I just provided.

YEAH! Success. While did one at a time, both cameras now load from NIC2 in both the web viewer and BI. Thanks, NoloC.

And Silas, I intentionally didn't take the bait...but what would I have learned if paid someone. NOTHING!
