WTH "Warning - Multiple default gateways..."

[bobbb.bbbbb]

"Warning - Multiple default gateways are intended to provide
redundancy to a single network (such as an intranet or the Internet)."


I have no idea if this is a fault or normal for my setup (32bit Vista
Ultimate/Q6600/nVidia 680i w/ dual NVIDIA nForce 10/100/1000 Mbps
Ethernet). This warning pops up whenever I set a static IP for either
of the two.
I have no problem accessing the Internet and I have teaming turned
on.
Under the "Network Connections" panel I have the following:

NIC #1 - Access to Local only
NIC #2 - Access to Local and Internet

I want to understand if this i a fault to fix or is it not important.

You may setup two gateways in the system, which is not recommended. Posting
back with the result of ipconfig /all may help.

Why do you setup two NICs? If you have muiltple gateways, they may cause
some issues. These search results may help too.
