But that is what you are trying to do wether you realize it or not. If you
are not doing any routing on it, then the only nic you can ping from a
particular location is the nic that is in the same subnet that the host you
are pinging from. If you ping one of the nics that is in a different subnet
from wence you ping then it will fail unless routing is working because
routing is required to make the jump.

Another *BIG* issue is the cabling. There is no way I can see from here how
you have it all wired up. If every nic is sharing the same wire (plugged
into the same switch or hub) then you will get convoluted behavior which the
multiple DFGs will exaserbate.

DFGs are a *global* setting. They are not tied to a particuar nic in the way
the GUI may imply. They *are* entered in the NIC's settings that correspond
to the subnet that the DFG is part of, but other than that it is a global
setting for the whole machine. I think MS really ought to get it together
on this and rig the GUI so that once a DFG is entered on any nic in the
machine that all the other DFG dialog box locations for the other NICs
become "greyed out". They should not be come "un-greyed" until the existing
DFG is deleted thereby allowing another to be entered.
