Secondary Network

Derek_Naro
Level 3
I have a secondary network using a 10.10.10.x address isolated from my primary network. All Servers have 2 NIC's installed. Backups are running fine but it seems my Windows 2000 servers are trying to route traffic through my secondary network. How do I stop this from happening? I'm using Backup Exec 8.6.

Two things I can think of to check.

1) Make sure that on all the servers, it is the primary NIC which has been configured with a gateway address, and not the secondary NIC.

2) In the TCP/IP settings of the secondary NIC's, make sure you've deselected the "Register this connection's addresses in DNS', as if it is selected you'll end up with entries in your local DNS for the server using the secondary NIC IP Address, which would then cause the servers to communicate using the wrong network. Especially if you don't have DNS entries for the primary network.
