Hi Rick The way I do it is have two separate network cards each on a separate subnet. Works well. Cheers Dan -----Original Message----- From: Rick Fogarty [mailto:rick@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2003 5:21 PM To: W2K Subject: [windows2000] W2k Routing? We have a 2k server that is multi-homed. One subnet is for a private (172) side and the other is for a public side (198). The 2k server is running Veritas Backup Exec 9.0. We need to back up a Novell Server that resides on the public side. The 2k server can see all of the mapped drives on the Novell server. It appears that when the 2k server is booted, it doesn't consistently route traffic for the two subnets. (Actually route is a bad choice of words - considering we have routing turned off). For example, one time it will boot and the traffic is correctly routed through the 198 subnet. Others it will not. It appears that the OS (2k) has some algorithm to determine which subnet to use. We have configured the 172 side to use the default gateway of the 198 subnet, but that doesn't appear to work. A call to MS has gotten us no where. They suggested monkeying with the registry to put static routes - but they said "we really wouldn't do that unless it's a last resort". So, what now MS? :-( A call into Veritas says its a routing issue. Any suggestions? (I'm being a bit vague on the particulars but will expand if necessary.)
