Two networks - one program

I'm having two networks and one Win2003 server with two network adapters,
one to each network. I would like to have a program running on this server,
and this program should be available to both networks. This program let me
select only one network at a time, and all ports used by this program is
available.

Are there any settings or tools that can "map" network messages from one
network to the other?

Use only one adapter in the server and have the server on only one network.
Use a Router between the networks to handle the routing between them.

You could also leave both adapters in this server and set it up to work as a
Router,...but you *still* will access the Application by whatever IP number
it is associated with. You don't *have* to be able to access the Application
on an address from the network that the client is on,..that is the wrong way
to look at it.

Just a further word of warning, to reinforce Phillip's first statement.
Always avoid using a server as a router if at all possible. Making a server
multihomed (ie having more than one network interface) can cause all sorts
of odd problems, especially if it is a domain controller.
