Question : Windows 2008 DC and IP Default Gateway settings

Hi there,

I have a Windows 2008 Active Directory. I initially had one domain controller, and have recently commissioned another which is on a separate subnet to the first.

I am having an issue with the new domain controller where every time I restart the machine for what ever reason, the Default Gateway I've set for the adapter disappears. As a result, both domain controllers aren't able to talk to one another as they are on separate subnets. When I go in and set a gateway, everything works as expected.

Naturally, I'm going to have to restart this machine for updates and so on, and I don't really want to be setting a default gateway every time I reboot the box.

Any ideas on why the default gateway disappears every time I reboot?

Thanks.

Never had this happen on any of my DCs, some things i'd try are updating the NIC drivers,  you could also try resetting IP   as described here  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/299357
