Hi OCS'ers
Computers that have two NIC's (multihomed) , connected to different subnets, can often become misconfigured.
You want the local NIC to have priority order when they are accessed by network services.
To configure network priority, first right-click My Network Neighborhood to open the Network Connections folder. Choose Advanced, Advanced Settings to open the Advanced Settings dialog box. On the Adapters and Bindings tab, select a network connection in the Connections list and click the up or down arrow buttons beside the list to change the priority. The item at the top of the list has the highest priority; the item at the bottom has the lowest priority.
While you have the Adapters and Bindings tab open, review the bindings for each connection. Select a connection and view the bindings in the Bindings list. You can unbind a service or protocol from a connection simply by clearing the checkbox beside the item.

With Windows 6 you have to go: Network/Properties/Manage Network Connections
Now all the network services will look at the internal NIC first and be able to resolve correctly ect.
It's a good idea to look at all your mulithomed computers confirm correct configuration as this error scenario can cause other problems as well.
Good luck,
