Problem using 2 nics in w2k3

Hi there,

I'm using the Proliant Server as my Proxy and DHCP server,
platform W2k3 Server. I'm trying to use 2 gigabit nic on
that server. One is for lan and the other for internet.
When I put gateway on both nics there's a warning that
says:

Warning - Multiple default gateways are intended to
provide redundancy to a single network (such as intranet
or the Internet). They will not function properly when the
gateways are on two separate, disjoint network (such as
one on your intranet and one on the Internet). Do you want
to save this configuration?

When I click ok and save the configuration. Both my
Internet and LAN is not working. How do I overcome this.
When I'm using the W2k Server, everything is ok.

Can anyone help me on this?

Have you installed remote access and routing? I had the same problem, ignore
the warning about the cards.

Use the Configure Server/Set up server applet in the control panel/admin
section to add remote access, follow the prompts and use the default
settings just make sure you select the public access card as the one going
to your internet connection.

I have 2 nics in my w2k3 box, 1 is a d-link wireless card which hooks to my
wireless hub/router in the office and the other is connected to a wired hub
to service a room of 5 machines, again all wired to the hub -> w2k3 srv ->
wireless -> router.

You might need to subnet the 2nd nic...my wireless nic is on 192.168.0.x,
and the 2nd nic which services the wired hub is on 192.168.10.x.

Someone also suggested to me to bridge the cards but never did it as the
above worked ok.

You say the server will be set up as a Proxy too.
Will you be using NAT, or a third party Proxy Server?

Remove the default gateway from the LAN NIC. If you have multiple subnets on
your LAN configuure RRAS and static routes for your LAN.

The Proxy Server will act also as a firewall using the ISA
2000.
The LAN NIC will be connected to a common VLAN which in
turn will connnect to another 5 VLANs. Yes, will be using
NAT. The configuration of ISA 2000 is giving me headache.
