Hi, I recently added 2 extra NIC's to my 2003 SBS server, and now the
RAS portion of the server doesnt work.

It looks like it created some 169.254 addresses in the IP routing
which is screwing it up.

These NICs are for an iSCSI connection to a SAN, so I don't want them
to have anything to do with the LAN or VPN, etc.

I just read that adding extra NICs to a DC is not a good idea. Can any
SBS experts tell me if these NIC's can co-exist with my SBS and if so
what I need to do to get things working again?

Thanks!

At most SBS 2003 supports two nics...but only to support RRAS...One nic for LAN, One NIC to connect to the internet connection.

Why do you need additional nics?
