    Hi! I’m running OSX Server 10.3.5. I’ve got 2 internet connections (one cable, one DSL – the DSL connection is through a router, so the Mac doesn’t have to worry about PPPoE) into the machine, through 2 NICs (one built-in, one added). I’d like to be able to serve to both of these connections, but the machine will only use the built-in NIC. Any ideas on how I can make this work? if I turn the built-in NIC off, then the second one works – I just can’t get them to co-exist!

    I’d like to be able to use this one server to serve two sites for web and email, but it’s just not coming together like I had hoped…

    I appreciate any help!

    Dumb question, but have you gone into the router and correctly mapped the incoming ports to the second NIC?

    Also, have you tried taking the router out of the mix and just setting up your DSL-using interface with the Mac’s built-in PPPoE, just to see if that works?

    Are you certain the incoming traffic isn’t being blocked by the ISP due to a “no servers” policy and/or anti-spam efforts?

    I’m going to be trying something like this soon myself, so I’m interested to see if you get it working.
