Adding second card to webserver?

[Amanda]

I am running a webserver with a public IP address behind
a 3com Firewall. I have 9 workstations behind NAT in my
LAN. I added a secondary NIC to the webserver with a NAT
address so my LAN users can have faster access to the
webserver for copying without going through the firewall.
They can connect ok, but I have a problem. My webserver
is connected to a remote server through a drivemapping.
The mapping now fails with a 'network not found error.'
How can I designate for this mapping to use the other
network card? I am running Windows 2003 server. I have 2
connections in my Network Connections dialog box. Any
suggestions?
TIA
Amanda

Not sure if this will help or not. Try going to a command
prompt and type route print. This shows the current
routes being used by the server. You can do a route add
to set a permanent route to specific IP's like this. Lets
say your network is on 10.10.0.0 , server IP of 10.10.0.1
on the nic you want to be used, and a subnet of
255.255.0.0 . So to get to internal IP's you type route
add 10.10.0.0 mask 255.255.0.0 10.10.0.1 / p . This says
use the NIC with IP of 10.10.0.1 as the gateway for any
IP's bound at a 10.10.X.X address. The /p makes the route
permanent so when you reboot you don't loose the route.
To delete it though you just do route delete 10.10.0.0
mask 255.255.0.0 10.10.0.1 and enter. What you can also
do is make sure the route you add has the lower metric.
If the first route has a lower metric the system will try
to use that card and not the route you want. You could
also possibly add a route for that other card saying the
same thing but at the end add metric 40. This will then
still have an association to the original card but make
the cost of using it higher than the one you really want
them coming in on. Not being sure of the whole net setup
you have their are also ways within the routers to make
client machines go to specific IP's.

Here is a screen shot of what route print returns to me:

Do you see anything in there that jumps out at you as
being wrong?
