Remote Desktop/Vista Professional/Multi-homed PC
I have two machines on a SBS 2003 network. One is running Vista Ultimate and the other Vista Business. The Vista Business PC has two NICs that I really want on two subnets (one LAN, one SAN). The LAN is connected via a SWITCH, the LAN via a crossover cable to a NAS device. It all functions correctly when accessing the machine directly. However, If I remote desktop onto the machine with both NICs enabled the remote desktop session cannot start. As soon as I disable the SAN port it works fine. From the internet I found reference to a lanatable registry key but this appears to have no impact on Vista (it related to Windows Server xxxx) Has anyone any ideas as I would love to separate the networks? Thanks Mark

Workaround: Put 2 NICs into your SBS server, and connect your SAN to the second one (with a static IP address). I have done exactly this with SBS2003, and it works perfectly. I assume you have the two NIC's on different IP networks!
