Just curious...
since nowadays, there are motherboards that come with 2 LAN ports... does this mean that the computer will have 2 IP addresses if both LAN ports are connected simultaneously?

what are the advantage of using 2 LAN ports simultaneously?

In principle, you can have one IP on two LAN ports, or two IPs on one LAN port, or two on two, or really any combination that works. I don't know if Windows supports all these configurations but with real computers (e.g. Mac/Linux/etc.) they are all possible.
