Network cards - IP Addresses

[Formal]

Hi everybody.

I have a question for you : I have a Windows 2003 server with three network cards, each nic has a different IP address.

My question is the following: which IP address is used by default ? I tried a connection to IP address #1 from a client workstation and the server sent an answer saying it had the IP address #2. Is there a way to tell Windows to use a predefined IP address if more IPs are configured on the nics ?

Thank you

Regards

three physical nics, all plugged in and on the same subnet?

can you post a network diagram, and what you are trying to achieve?

The three nics are on different subnets. I try a connection to the server on <ipaddress1<:<port1> from a client and using a sniffer I see that the server replies saying it has ipaddress2.

are you running any internet sharing or routing software?

post the actual IPs and subnets, and a network diagram
