Missing Default Gateway?

by baird.jason . Updated 14 years, 11 months ago

Good morning all,

I have an odd issue I am hoping someone can help me with.

I have a Windows 2003 terminal server with 2 NICs that are both on the same subnet of 10.180.x.x. They have the same Subnet Mask and Default Gateway. One card is configuring for Internal use and one for External (just to make firewall rules easier for our setup). Occassionally the Default gateway for the Internal card disappears from the ipconfig listing. The other card is fine. If I drop to a command prompt and run an “ipconfig /registerdns” the issue is resolved and the Gateway shows up again or if I do a repair on the card it also resolves the issue. Sometimes it occurs every morning and other times it could be a week or two before it shows up again.

I have tried updating the NIC drivers, server firmware, triple checked the DNS configuration and tried resetting the TCP/IP stack using the netsh command. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Jason
