You should only provide default gateway for one of the NIC's.<br />
If you give both of the nic's a gateway address, I think that<br />
your network infrastructure on the machine will not work.

I have a server 2003 box with dual nics for Websense. &nbsp;Websense requires one NIC for monitoring and one for blocking. &nbsp;I have them both on the same subnet with different IP's and everything else the same (GW, DNS). &nbsp;What's happening is I can access all shares and RDP to the server, but I can't ping my gateway or any other hosts on my local network (nor can I ping the outside world). &nbsp;DNS is working because I can try to ping internal and it will pick up the IP but not be able to ping the host. &nbsp;Any suggestions?

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
