i have been working on this for about 2.5 hours now.
Setup is: box running 2k3 server with 4 nic's, 2 nics are
plugged into 2 different modems. the other 2 nics are
plugged into the same switch.

nic #1 has static global ip
nic #2 has dynamic global ip
nic #3 is set to 10.0.0.1
nic #4 is set to 10.0.0.2

I want all computers on the network that have gateway set
to 10.0.0.1 to gain internet access through nic #1. All
computers with gateway set to 10.0.0.2 to get internet
access through nic #2.

Old configuration was 2 separate networks, due to
equipment changes it must be using the same switch. only
have one availible server to run as a router.

I have talked with a few other people, nobody really has
expeirience with a setup like this, some have suggested an
advanced subnet config, others say static routing. anybody
know how to solve this???

Hi,

You will not be able to set this up this way using Windows Server 2003. Like
Windows NT and 2000, 2003 is a single router router. Only one routing table
is maintained regard less of the number of interfaces.. The following
article provides details:

230623 Windows NT 4.0/Windows 2000 Is a Single-Route Router

Use one nic per subnet. Eliminate nic #4 and all clients using it for
a DF should be changed to 10.0.0.1. It is also possible to add
10.0.0.2 to the same Nic as an "additional" IP# but I don't know if
that will help or hinder anything. I would just keep it simple and
it will work.

What in the world is a "global IP"? All IP#s, by definition are
"unique", just the opposite of "global". I'll take a stab and assume
you mean "publicly registered IP#s", and I'm assuming a lot of other
things too,...you should only have one Default Gateway on the machine
and it would be the interface that takes traffic out of the system for
"undefined" routes. All other Nics would have a "blank" DFG setting
and the routes would have to be statically entered into the routing
table to cover any needs on the other interfaces (subnets).
