Hello,
My machine running Windows 2000 server have two Ethernet
cards and play a role of NAT. That is, one card is
connected to outside Internet and the other to inside
network.
But, whenever the system reboot, I always manually re-
enable the network card connecting to outside network.
Otherwise it can not access Internet. And also from time
to time, network is not working. I have to re-enable the
card again to solve the problem ( click "disable and
click "enable"..") I don't know why it happens. I tried to
replace the card with new one. It's still same. So, I
wonder whether Windows 2000 server's configuration has
problems. For addition information, It doesn't run DNS.

Thanks a lot.

Regards,
 
Let it run DNS.
Check the bindingorder of your nics. Internal nic should be on top and there
should be no gateway. External nic should only have TCP/IP bounded.
