    SBS2003 Shows multiple IP addresses

    I have two nic's in my server, but one is disabled. When I do a network scan
    I see the IP address of the server twice. The real on 192.168.1.2 and
    another time at 192.168.1.89

    I can ping .89 and it is alive and is the SBS2003 server. My server is VERY
    slow and I'm not sure that this has anything to do with it, but I'd like to
    resolve it if it is an issue.

    Are you *sure* that NIC is disabled?

    Let's start with an ipconfig /all from the server.

    It's not associated with a particular NIC, but with RRAS. If you dig
    through the RRAS management, you'll find it referred to as the
    'internal' interface though, as you've found, it is reported on external
    scans. If you use VPN, it's the address used for the SBS end of the tunnel.

    Cliff, thanks for the quick response.

    I don't ever remember configuring the second NIC and I actually used the
    Wizard to set the server up. Is the PPP setup normal?
