Cannot access the Internet because of two default gateways.

Q1: Was doing my final preparations for deploying a 2003 server and was running
the SCW and a few other things when I noticed after a while that all my
workstations and server cannot to the internet.. Incoming connections for
VPN and PcAnywhere still work.. (all was working fine till I got carried
away)

Can someone point me in a direction to see what setting I may have set
wrong..

Tried the roll back in the SCW - but think I am too late for that.. I tried
too many other changes there..

So, I am not sure where the problem might be.. Server running 2 NIC's
w/Routing, file server, App server, VPN server, DNS and DHCP..

Any help appreciated... (this was a used system donated to my church, so I
have limited experience with 2003 server).

A1: There are many possibilities.

1. Since you have tow NICs, I would check the TCP/IP settings first and make sure only one NIC has default gateway.

2. I would check VPN outbound filter.

3. Finally, it could be DNS issue too.

Posting the result of ipconfig /all may help.

A3: Thank you for the feedback We need that.
