Multiple Gateways

Under TCP/IP Properties, Advanced, there is a place to put multiple gateways in. My assumption is that if my address is not found in the first one, the second one will be checked, etc. This does not work.

Instead, the "Default Gateway" I choose is checked then the W2K gives up.

Is there a trick to this? Or perhaps my assumption on what this list is for is incorrect.

THX,
bes

Bes,

Instead of making too many assumptions about your particular setup and configuration, I'll direct you to the following Web page. Take notice, as well, to the "contents" section, which will lead you to whatever subject you desire. There's a plethora of great information at the following link:

Maxwell, the link you sent me gave a 404. I made sure to erase the spaces and tried it several times.

Also, a little more info: We have 2 subnets. My router goes to the internet. The other goes to the other subnet. I'd like to use both. My question is in reference to W2K Professional, not server.

Thanks!

Yes it is. I dropped it several months ago and worked on other things. I won't need a solution for another 2 months or so.

I'll close the question since it's been open so long.

Brian
