Hey there. Got a good problem for you all now, we have a box loaded with win2k server (regular not advanced) and MS proxy. It has 2 3c905b nic cards and one is set as the outbound (ie: going to cable modem) and the other is inbound. The problem is that the connection to the internet just dies by itself. You can do an ipconfig and it has the right ip and info, but you try to get on the web or ping anything and it can't get out. Currently, the only way we get it to work again is to swap the settings on the 2 nic's and then it works again, but just for awhile and then loses it's ability to get outbound. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
 
Well we've figured out so far that it's a DHCP problem in 2000. When it does a refresh on the nic connected to the cable modem, the default gateway gets switched to the internal network card and then the routing table shows 2 0.0.0.0 listings with 2 gateways. The only workaround so far has been to delete both 0.0.0.0 entries and add in a valid one....
