I have a windows 2003 server with 2 NIC's.
NIC 1 is attached to network 192.168
NIC 1 has a WINS/DNS and default gateway entry in the 192.168 network
NIC 2 is attached to network 172.16 which is our NAS network. It has no WINS/DNS and default gateway.
When I ping the server by name from any machine in the 192.168 network is resolves to the correct address.
When I ping by name on the server itself it returns the 172.16 address.
What is wrong and how do I solve this?
 
You need to set the NIC with the 192.168 address as your primary adaptor.

Right-click the Network Neighborhood icon and choose Properties.

From the menu of the Network and Dial-up Connections window, choose Advanced > Advanced Settings.

On the Adapter and Binding tabs, in the Connections area, ensure that the primary NIC is listed first.

You can click the Move Up or Move Down buttons to arrange the adapters and select your primary NIC.

From a DOS prompt, issue the ipconfig /all command to verify that your selected primary NIC appears first in the list
