Win2K Server on two networks problem

Hey,

I have a windows 2000 server, sp4, with 2 nics in it.
NIC 1 is 100Mbps and is tied to the main LAN
NIC 2 is 1000Mbps and is tied to a data-backup LAN, with a whole different
ip scheme.

Everyhting works great, with one exception.

There is are numerous web sites on this server that all each other by
http://servername/web.

This causes a problem in that the server name is resolving to wrong IP of
the server. The server is resolving itself as the IP on the data-backup
lan, which the webs do not answer on.

Is there a way to force the server to answer by name on the one, but not the
other, when it is referencing itself?

Put the name/ip in your hosts file.

Tried that.
I included the IP and Hostname in both the HOST and LMHOST files.

When I rebooted and then logged onto the server, and then pinged itself, it
still resolved to the wrong (other) ip.

Are your websites setup to 'all unassigned IP's' ? How do you set them a
part? Host headers? port numbers?

Try moving NIC 1 to the top of the binding order in network connection
properties. See:

That did the trick. I never knew that menu was there, but I figured it
would be something just that simple.

Thanks.
