You need to create a separate subnet, then set up the network config on each computer so that NIC uses that subnet. Sorry about not having details, I'm not a network admin, but I know that's how our network guy set it up at work so we can back up over a gigabit net. There might be other ways too, I just know that this works when it's set up properly.
