Had HM3 instance running on W2K-adv-svr. All wrkng perfectly. Added 2 NICS w/ differing subnets & even after app Un/Re-install, most tests fail & no reconfig helps!

Any advice where to add addtnl info or how to fix mis-routing?? ~Thx!

HostMonitor doesn't work directly with network cards. It means there no changes in HostMonitor configuration can help. I think something wrong in your system routing table but I don't know what exactly. Sorry :sad:

When You add more NIC's to your PC where HM is running also need carefully view of HOW this HM/PC is working against the complete network - ie. routing tables need to know which NIC to use for specific IPs in your network. By default you'll add a "gateway" for every NIC you put into the PC/HM, but in most cases you'll get a "wrong" gate/way to the specific server/pc you'll monitor!

A simple way of testing this is by a "ping" command from the DOS-prompt.

PING <server-ip> [ENTER]

Do You get any reply from that server? If You do, the everything is okay.. if not, then you'll have to add a "route" for that server/IP-net, just like this:

route -p add 10.155.0.0 mask 255.255.0.0 10.10.0.2

(above command is also typed from a DOS-prompt) - and above example means, that any IP-address at IP-NET 10.155.*.* with sub-net 255.255.*.* should go via NIC 10.10.0.2 (ie. gateway). Relative simple, but can be a tricky <censur> when You dont know! :grin:
