Hi Simon,

There's no gain (and much trouble) to having multiple NICs in the same subnet.
Go ahead and assign all your external IPs to a single external NIC.

I have a SBS 2003 setup with 4 servers attached.  We use the RWW quite alot
for some of the remote workers in the office and did not really want to
disturb this.  On one of the member servers we are hosting a new website.
As we ahve multiple IP addresses I have installed 2 external cards into ISA
2000.  The main card x.x.x.5 is the main internet connection and mapped to
RWW the other card x.x.x.4 I am going to publish to the other server.
The problem I seem to be having is that with the additional card configured
I cannot ping the address externally.  Internally everything is fine.  I
have since plugged this into another server to just test connectivity and
that works fine.  One thing a have noticed is that when I tried to use the
internet connection wizard to the other adaptor x.x.x.4 this seemed to
complete OK but still wouldn't connect to the intyernet when x.x.x.5 was
disconnected.
Anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks in advance,
Simon Gurner
