I have a Windows server with 2 NICs one with an address belonging to the 192.168.1.0 network and the other adapter with an address belonging to the 192.168.3.0 network. I have been monitoring traffic on my .3 network and notice that UDP broadcasts from the NIC with the 192.168.1.0 address are being set out the 192.168.3.0 interface as well.

Is there a way in windows 2000 Server to tell stop all packets from the 192.168.3.0 NIC going to the 192.168.1.0 NIC ? The reason there are tow NICs is because some services on the machine get requests on the .1 network and then the machine makes calls to other machines on the .3 network for data.. which is processed and eventually handed to the user.

I wash think route and remote access service but I read that Windows will still send out broadcast packets to all interfaces by default even with routing and remote access enabled. Is that true ?
