That's entirely possible. That NIC isn't one of the onboard NICs and was
just one that I had laying around. I don't even remember what it is. The
server is Red Hat EL4 x64 and the driver it is using is the one that it
picked: "ADMtek NC100 Network Everywhere Fast Ethernet 10/100". I have a
bunch of spare Linksys LNE100TX... I think it might be one of those. Is
there a Linux driver for that and is that the correct driver for it,
assuming that there is and that is what the card is?

I don't think that's the problem... based on what I've read online, Windows
doesn't like having more than 1 Default Gateway -- it confuses it (big
shocker there huh?). I tried it that way at first and it was complaining
when I tried to save the TCP/IP properties. I don't think the routing was
working right either... I seem to recall some issues.
