Dual IP address conflicts

[foxneo]

Several of the computers where I work require 2 IP addresses, one to access the internet and one to access an application server. Some work ok with no problems, but a couple of the new PCs I built using Windows XP are having a conflict when attempting to do this. Whichever IP address and gateway is listed first under the advanced tab of the TCP/IP settings is the one that works, while the one listed second will either work intermittently or not work at all. If I have the server one first I can map the network drives off the server, but can't get internet. If I have the internet one listed first I can surf the web, but not map the server. Any ideas on anything I might be missing to cause these to use both normally like the rest of the PCs do?

Thanks

Why 2 IP's? is it different subnet?

You could modify the local routing table on the XP workstation. Point your internal addressing (IE: 10.x.x.x) to point to your inside card with a low weight and point all other traffic destinations (0.0.0.0) to the "external" card.
