Multiple NIC's each assigned public IP but have default gateway issues!<br />
<br />
I am currently configuring a web server with Windows 2003 Web Server edition with 2 x Intel Quad port Network cards.<br />
<br />
My connection provider has supplied a range of 8 public IP's with one default gateway address. The server is connected directly to the provider; I use no router to branch the connection.<br />
<br />
I have configured one of the ports with a public IP address and configured a website via IIS to use this address and connect fine to it.<br />
<br />
When I try and configure another port with another IP address from the allocation I receive a warning about the default gateway address and &quot;connection redundancy&quot; before applying. Then none of the sites can be reached.<br />
<br />
Is this due to the fact that I only have one default gateway address?<br />
<br />
many thanks,<br />
<br />

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
