2003 - multiple nics multiple subnets

We have currently a windows 2000 advanced server with 4 NICs each having an
ip address on 4 different subnets, and each configured with the gateway for
its own subnet, this has been a convienent arrangment in this environment as
there are only 4 subnets and this made RIS and DHCP work far better. There
is only the one server in this ADS domain.

I have come to install Windows 2003 enterprise edition onto a spare Compaq
ML370 with an onboard network card and I have installed 3 additional 3com
cards to make 4 in total, ie to duplicate the current structure. However,
2003 seems to take offence to me trying this. And sure enough does not
function correctly.

I have looked and cant find any document or advice as to how to configure
multilple network cards in a windows server environment, only that relating
to fault tolerence situations.

Any ideas folks?

Thanks

Brian
