dual nics

[RadioX]

I have two nics in my server. One with one address and one with another address. Each of these address are out of a different Class C and have a different gateway. When I use the second nic in this machine it slows down netowkr performance for this machine incredibly. Do I need to do anything when I add the second nic to prevent this. Here is a small example

Nic 1
ip address 192.168.10.2
subnetmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.10.1

Nic 2
ip address 10.10.10.2
subnetmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 10.10.10.1

When I have this setup my network performance is slow. When I disable one of the nics then my performance goes back to where it should be

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Ron

Have a look at Q288801. It may be some bad news.

One thing I can think of that may actually work, is adding some static routes to this machine. I don't know how extensive the your network is, but packets that should go out one interface might be starting out the other. Doing a 'route print' from a CMD prompt should give more info. You could always add a &quot;route add <dest net> mask <dest mask> <gatewayIP>&quot; to correct any glaring errors. The &quot;tracert&quot; command could also help in verifying where the pakets are going.

Hopefully some of this will help.
