Network issue with dual nics

I have a WinNT4 workstation (system1) that has two nics. Nic1 to the main coporate backbone and Nic2 (192.168 address) that is only for a local network. I have a drive mapped to another server (system2) via the corporate connection, nic1.

All is fine but eventually we start seeing the Nic2 address on system2. If we do a netstat command on system2 we will see the nic2 address, which again is only on a small local network off of nic2 on system1.

If I disconnect the mapping the nic2 address goes away. I can then remap and it's fine for a couple days then starts reappearing.

Hopefully I have explained that well enough and would appreciate any insight.

Thanks.
 
Take a look at the Bindings tab, and how the protocols are assigned to your adapters. If each adapter sees both addresses, disable the incorrect one.
