two nic cards - one drops the connection

B

Brent

I have two nic cards in my advanced 2000 server.
One card is for the ISP and the other is hard-coded for
DHCP. The problem I am having is that the internet after
a given time, loses connection on all my computers. The
only way I can fix it is to disable the local nic card
and then enable it. I can rebuild my server from scratch
and use two different nic cards and still get the drop in
connection.
I have been fighting this issue for a couple years and it
would really be nice is someone can tell me why this is?

Thanks;

Brent

Do you use MS's ICS (Internet connection sharing), or any proxy application?

From my experience on a similar setup, using ICS and dial-up connection, I
experienced automatic disconnection after a period of inactivity (no client
PC was browsing the internet).
