I have a Windows 2003 Server with multiple network cards each configured with a different gateway. The problem that I am having is Windows continues to send packets from one NIC card out on the other NIC cards network. So if I ping the one NIC address the ack will be sent out on the other network card never reaching the destination address. I do not have routing and remote access installed on this server. These networks are completely disjoined and information from one network should never be broadcast out using the other network. The reason that I have this set up this way is because our company shares the application this server is hosting with another company so there is a point to point T1 going into this server.

So how do I configure this server to isolate each network card and not allow packets to be transmitted over the wrong network.

Any input will be greatly appreciated.
 
Windows can only have one gateway. You need to use persistant routes to move data to additional networks. USe the route print command to see your route table and then the route add command to add the persistant route to the subnet accross the p-2-p T.
