Re: 2003 DC Multihomed - 1 Nic won't answer - help!!

No no nat, internally on the lan there is no problem, with the gateway
pointed at the public nic everything works fine, except... I am routing
packets from a remote location through a sonicwall appliance. Everything
works fine except this one server, a critical one - of course :) If the
gateway is pointed at my internal network gateway through the appliance then
users on the other side can see and get to all the things they need to but
the other folks who are remote but don't come through the pipe, rather
through the public network cannot access anything from the public nic, but if
the gateway is pointed at the public then the public works but the then it is
like the internal nic isn't there, it doesn't respond to traffic through the
pipe, internal local traffic is unaffected. This has me pulling my hair out :)

This happens for all services, pc any is just an example. So I change
the default gateway to the other nic and now it answers but the first
one falls silent. I need them both to answer. Help!!!!!

Can you please post an unedited ipconfig /all?

Multi-homed Domain Controllers are problematic at best, it can work if
properly configured with registry entries and manually created records in
DNS. That said, I would like to see the network config to get an idea on
what you are trying to do.
Are both NICs on the same subnet connected to the same physical network?
(The ipconfig /all will tell me the subnet)
Have you installed NAT on this server?
