Does anyone know how to get around a known DNS problem using two network
cards using advanced server 2000. If using two network cards it can cause
problems resolving and replicating.

You mean on a domain controller? It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and SUGGESTED to
NOT use multiple NICs on any domain controller. I would suggest to use a
member server for whatver reason the domain controller is multihomed
(multiple NICs) for.

Otherwise, there is a multi-step procedure to fix this that includes
registry changes. I prefer not to force a DC to go against it's default
settings to make all of these changes, but if you like, I can post them.

Honestly, I suggest, as well as many other engineers, to use a non-DC for
this to reduce the headaches and administrative overhead.

Great idea! It's something I've been meaning to do as well, but never
have the time to put together a site with all my accumulated notes.

Absolutely. I was thinking of starting a blog, but you know, I have hardly
any time for trying to construct it. The multiplehome browser is a great
start. Hopefully it will help everyone out there. I believe I already posted
it for someone else in another group.
