Exchange 2000 Problem

[Needles]

Hi

I have a box with 2 network cards running W2k Server and Exchange 2k. One network card has an IP address of 192.168.10.6. The other card has an IP address of 192.168.11.6. All email traffic is sent from the server to a default gateway on the .10 range.

I have been getting a problem where email is not sent by the server to the default gateway. I cannot ping any ip address nor can I telnet to any computer on the network. When I disable the network card with the address of 192.168.11.6 email works again and I can ping addresses. I can then re-enable the card on the 11 range and it works fine for a random amount of time.

Does anyone know how I can solve this without disabling the .11 network card or removing it? My IT Derictor isn't entertaining this idea!

Thanks in advance.

I'm going to go ahead and assume you entered a default gateway for the .11 NIC as well.
Erase it and leave it blank.

Next, add a static route for the .11 subnet
Go to the command line and enter
route -p add 192.168.11.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.11.6

This tells the box that any packet destined for the 192.168.11.0 subnet should be routed via the 192.168.11.6 interface

FInally, right click my network places, select properties, Advanced (on toolbar), Advanced settings. Make sure the connection to the 192.168.10.0 subnet is the default.
