Dual NICs - Differing Subnets

[mav617]

Hi guys,

I have a Windows 2K pro machine with dual NICs. One (LAN2) connects to my LAN and allows me to configure the system remotely using PCAnywhere. LAN1 connects to a router which I need to configure. The default router address is 192.168.1.1 and the NIC address I have set up as 192.168.1.10, mask 255.255.255.0. I can ping the router, and it uses Interface 1 to do so but I cannot open an IE session using http:\\192.168.1.1 in order to configure the router - and I cannot Telnet to it (open port 23 fail).

I've turned off proxy server settings in IE Tools/Connections/LAN - is there anything else I can try. I don't want to disable the NIC on interface 2 as I need it 'cos I'm 250 miles away using PCAnywhere.

Having dual NICs in a machine can create some rather odd behavior.

Can you do a "route print" and post it here? Please change any resolvable IP addresses in the listing. It sounds as if the system may be sending requests to LAN 2 that should be routing to LAN 1.

You should have lines similar to this in the listing:

0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.10 1
192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.10 1
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
