I'l bet that they're not really as identical as you think. Where are you pinging from? Are both addresses in AD/DNS? What are the bindings for both NICs on both servers? *ASB *(My XeeSM Profile) http://XeeSM.com/AndrewBaker *Exploiting Technology for Business Advantage...* * * Signature

I've got a customer that uses a tool by Varonis to track group usage. I'm ambivalent (not sure it provides equivalent value), but they like it, so that's all that matters. You might give it a look. NetWrix also has some tools in this space. Regards, Michael B. Smith Consultant and Exchange
