Hello,

I have a DNS Domain Controller W2K3 Server in a class C network. I had to
install two network cards to it with different IP's in the same segment so
that one of them is connected to a Hub to serve an IMBoss Sniffer program
that captures Messenger Traffic. NIC one has 192.168.50.3 and NIC 2 has
192.168.50.4 mask is 255.255.255.0

Can this cause any kind of conflict with Network traffic, like printing,
file sharing and other network services?

Thanks I'd apreciate your

Yes it can,ESPECIALLY with a DC due to the DNS records that it must register
in order for AD to work and other machines to find domain resources (when
loggin on, authenticating to print, etc). If you want dual NICs for
efficiency, team them, otherwise disable one of them. Honestly it will cause
problems.
