    IIS Default Website Issue with 2 Network Cards on Two Different Networks

    Ok, So here is my issue. I have setup IIS 5.1 on an XP pro machine with all the services installed but the FTP service(which I will not be needing). The installation went fine, the services are up and I was able to connect to my test index.htm just fine from an outside network. I want to add a second NIC card to the machine to connect to the private network on which i have a ASP report server running. So I installed a wireless card on the Machine and connected it to the internal network. So I now have a NIC with a static IP from a different network, subnet and gateway then the wireless NIC which has the IP, subnet, and gateway of my private network. When both of these network cards are enabled then the IIS website is no longer accessible, it simply gets a 404 error. I am really lost on this and have not found much help elsewhere. Any direction or advise would be greatly appreaciated Thanks~!

    404 means "page not found" and some server sent that response, so either ...

    1) your IIS is accesible, but it doesn't make sense that now it can't find the page requested

    or

    2) there's a network issue and the request is not being sent to your machine but to some other server.

    I think #2 is the likely situation.  How are you accessing the web site?  What URL?

    ok i solved the 404 problem by getting rid of the gateway on the lan NIC, but now im just back to square one where when the wireless NIC card(which has the local private address) the page come back as web page not available. but when i turn it off it still comes up just fine. so im not sure what is going on still.
