I did a little experimentation today, and this is what i found. The pinging of internal IP's would work fine if I took out the other network card (DSL connection). However, once I put back the other card the same problems started occuring. To confuse the matter more, I attempted to ping myself (unicron, I know, you all can congratulate me later on for being a total dork) and the proper IP showed. however when i attempted to pathping another internal IP, the DSL NIC's IP would show up as Unicron. Without further ado here's my trace,
C:\>ping unicron

I know this is a looooong post, but it's really rather puzzling to me.
Thanks
