Hi, this problem has stumped me for a while. We are running two sbs
2003 servers, both with a nic for wan and a nic for lan. The wan ip
is a static public address and teh lan ips are 192.168.x.x The
problem is that after a day or so of running with both nics enabled,
all wan connectivity is lost, and it only returns when the lan card
is disabled. I've tried different nics, but since this problem is
happening on two machines, i think we must be missing something
somewhere, perhaps something we've overlooked along the way. Any help
with this matter woudl be great, can also provide more infomation if
needed.

Maybe look for event log errors ....and post an ipconfig /all from the box
in question.

PS: If you aren't using ISA, you really need to get a decent hardware
firewall appliance to stick between WAN and LAN.
