Windows 2003 internet stops working with second network adapter enabled

by convert2online . Updated 18 years, 5 months ago

I have a home network running windows 2003 as the server, it has 2 Network adapters one to connect to the internet and another for the internal network, I use Internet connection sharing.

Everything works ok most of the time but occasionally the internet on the server (windows 2003) will stop working, I’ve discovered it starts working again as soon as I disable the network adapter for the internal network, this happened a few times and I would just reboot and everything would work again but now it’s happened again and seems permanent.

It looks like the server is trying to use the internet through the wrong adapter, but why would it get confused? ICS is enabled on the other adapter connected to the modem.
Why would this happen randomly?

Thanks heaps!
