It appears you were right about disabling the 2nd NIC because the networking is now working as it should. How would I install VMWare Player to use the currently unused NIC. If I install VMWare player it will automatically set up a virtual share on the existing NICK. thanks Iopaka

I use my extra NICs for virtual box. The network cards that are only being used for virtual machines should only have 2 things checked off in the properties the virtual bridged networking adapter (for virtualbox its "VirtualBox NDIS6 bridged networking driver") and the other is "Link layer topology discovery mapper I/O driver" nothing else should be checked or it will interfere with the primary NIC settings. VMWare should be set similar If both nics have IPV4 or IPV6 boxes checked I can almost guarantee it will cause problems like you describe. Only the primary NIC should have those checked lopaka
