I took out the gateway on the second nic
and I will see if this works. I have the machine multi-homed because the
firewall prevents my address from accessing these machines, but with the second
nic directly plugged into the router then it can be bridged over because it
sits on the other network. Again the router will not route me because I am a
totally separate network. Its like me trying to access switches on you network
from my machine; I will be denied.

If I have this correct
... you have a nic on (999.999.0.0) and nic on (888.888.888.0)? Why multi-home
the machine if you have a router in place? Just curious ... I am probably
not understanding your config correctly.
As Matthew Reed stated
... you can control your problem if you are going to use the dual nics by
adding static routes, although I would add the -p switch after the command to
make them persistent, if we are indeed talking about a Windows NT/2000 machine.

For example:
I have a class b address (999.999.0.0)
and a class c address (888.888.888.0). There is a router in place to
route between the networks. I monitor switches on both networks and
sometime the wug uses the nic for the class c address to monitor switches on
the class b network.

Can you
give us some more details? Why aren't you using a router between the to
networks? When you say that "sometimes the devices use the wrong
nic", what does that mean exactly. If you can give us some examples or IP
addresses that would help out quite a bit.

I am trying to monitor two separate
networks using two different nics and sometimes the devices us the wrong nic
and cannot be reached. Is there any way to force certain devices to us a
particular nic?
Thanks
