Windows 2003 Server with 2xNetwork cards

joolzhaines · 07-15-2008, 02:28 AM

Hi,

I am trying to setup a Windows 2003 server with two network cards, one goes to my router and is used to give the server internet access as the server is a web server, and the other is for local users to connect ot the server from the local lan.

Now I have had this working on Windows 2000 but have just upgraded to 2003, what happens is that if a local use tries to connect the connection times out and can not connect, if I disable the internet network card and they try and connect it works!

This must be a routing issue, what am I doing wrong, thanks for your help

When you create your scope for the local users, did you specify what card to listen on? The card that controls your local lan would be something like 192.168.1.10, and your DNS zone should be configured to listen for requests on 192.168.10. Sounds like the DNS is set to listen from all cards including the internet one. So when you disable it, you force the system to listen on the other card.
