Guest Noah Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 I have a windows 2003 server with two nics installed. Both nics have IP and gateway. How can i tell which nic is going to make all outbound requests?

This will create a single virtual adapter from the two real ones allowing redundancy and load sharing. -- Steve Parry MCP MVP http://www.gwynfryn.co.uk
Guest Justin Rich Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 Re: Server 2003 with two nics They shouldnt both have gateways and you probably got a warninig about that. If you bring up your network connections (right click network place and do properties) and go to the Advanged menu, advnaced settings, the top section is the device priority.. and there it is :) "Noah" <noah@carpathiahost.com> wrote in message news:%23QS$jXFAIHA.2268@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... >I have a windows 2003 server with two nics installed.

Guest Noah Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 Re: Server 2003 with two nics Thanks guys. I have been trying to talk the customer into using nic teaming. They just wanted to know why that you should not use two nics. with gateways.

Guest Anthony Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 Re: Server 2003 with two nics This gets very confusing, but it shouldn't be. You can have multiple IP's on one NIC. The reason for more than one NIC is for resilience or performance, but you get that through Teaming them, not just by having two of them. You can't have two default gateways, because Default means the one to use if nothing else is specified. If its not the default, but a specific next hop to use in certain circs, then that is achieved by a routing table, not a default, Anthony, http://www.airdesk.co.uk "Noah" <noah@carpathiahost.com> wrote in message news:%231KKf0FAIHA.536@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > Thanks guys.
