Thanks! (By the way, nobody has yet asked, but the server in quesion is running Windows 2003, SP2)
I just checked... Each NIC has TCP/IP unchecked, and BASP (Broadcom Advanced Server Program Driver) checked. Also in that control panel, there is the BASP Virtual Adapter. In "Status - Network Connection Details", it shows the "correct" IP address (10.1.2.47 and in the data VLAN). Also for the team, it shows the MAC address of the "offending" NIC. The Broadcom "Advanced Control Suite" shows nothing inconsistant between the two NICs. The Dell OpenManage Server Administrator, however, shows "IP Address 10.1.2.47" "belonging" to the NIC _not_ sending gratuitous ARP requests. The "IP Address [Not Obtained]" entry has the "offending" NIC in it. Don't know if what shows in the Dell OpenManage thingie is significant or not.
