I suspect the answer is more complex then the question so at best I am hoping for web links to answer some of the/this problem/s. As normal, finding anything on microsoft sites is a career.
Question: When running dual nic's on windows 2000 server, (one is holding several public static IP's to host serveral domains with a T1 connected to it, and the other is simple broadband connection from a different provider with the purpose of testing "things" from a outside point of veiw. Now, windows seems to pick one link or the other and from out side that PC, only one is working. Long and short of it, how do I make both run, and work at the same time. Worse yet, how do I make one nic work for the hosting off of the server, and the other get used by all monitoring programs installed on same said server? I see its a simple thing in unix, but most monitoring programs I use are windows based so I need it there. ??
 
Run a "netstat -rn" to view the system's routing table. There should be a default route that points to either ISP1 or ISP2, where all traffic would go to (with the exception of ISP1 or ISP2 traffic which would go out those respective interfaces).

Use "route add" if you want to make changes.
