Network Connection stops sending to outside network

[Guest]

I'm having an issue, I have a Win2k3 Server, with 3 NIC's.
NIC A. = is connected to the net and used for IIS sites
NIC B. = is used for IIS again, but a different IP
NIC C. = has a 192.168.x.x in order to connect to my db servers that are
inside the network.

The problem I'm having is sporadically, NIC A will stop sending out data to
clients outside the network. It will still recieve, just won't send. I've
swapped NIC A with NIC B, and same thing happens. To fix this all I have to
do is run repair on any of the NIC'S in the server, and seconds later all is
fine. But this is happening pretty often, maybe 3 or 4 times a day. Sometimes
3 or 4 times and hour.

Any Idea's? and as a work around is there a way to script the network
connection repair?

Run *One* Nic. Add multiple IP#s to it as needed (keep them in the same
subnet).

If this server is an "edge device" then run only two Nics.
IP#s in the same subnet should be on the same Nic together.

Thanks, I removed 1 of the NIC's and replaced the other NIC with a Intel
Server Class NIC, and moved both IP's on the the same subnet to one nic and
have had no problems at all. Any Idea why it causes that problems (just for
curiousity's sake), I'd always multiple nics were okay.
