2 NIC, no internet connection

HI all
I have a windows 2003 server with 2 NICs. One NIC to ADSL modem and the other to LAN. I can't access Internet from this box when 2 NICs are enabled. I have to diable the LAN connection. Why? How browser decide which NIC to use when browsing internet?

Here are my settings:

IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : Yes

NIC#1 (connect to ADSL modem)
    IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 172.16.0.2
    Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0
    Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 172.16.0.1 (the ADSL modem)
    DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 172.16.0.1 (the ADSL modem)

NIC#2 (Connect to LAN)
   IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1
   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 172.16.0.2 (NIC#1)
   DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 172.16.0.1 (the ADSL modem)

I do have ISA 2006 installed, but even I dsiable all the services related to ISA, same thing happens

Also, I can get the other LAN machines connect to this box. Do I have to use Routing services? Anyone can point to a good tutorial on setting up a basic ISA environment?

Thanks

Firstly - you cannot have a default gateway on both nics. If you ARE using ISA you cannot have entries for the same subnet on both nics either.
Thanks Keith! I just removed the default gateway from the LAN NIC (192.168.0.1) and it works! Could you please explain the reason behind it to me? It's still like a mystery to me.

BTW, as I mentioned in my post, I can't get other machines (for example 192.168.0.10) on the LAN connect to this box (192.168.0.1). I can ping to other machine from this box, but no the opposite way - This happened even when ISA is disabled. Also, windows firewall is disabled as well.

What I am trying to do is get all LAN machines connect to internet through this machine. I am new to ISA, please help.

Thanks
