Connecting to AOP data store with multiple NIC's

[Mr. Spark Plug]

I have a situation where I need to have the computer running Diadem to be connected to two different networks.  I have two NIC's installed in the machine, NIC A and NIC B, we will call them.  The reason for this, is that I am using Diadem to access an AOP server on an AVL PUMA machine.  If I connect PUMA to the LAN, PUMA occasionally crashes, probably something to do with the IP address.  So, PUMA needs to be on a network that does not have a router.  My diadem computer needs to communicate with PUMA, and with the local shared drives on our company network.

Anyway, I have the company LAN hooked up on NIC A, and the PUMA network hooked up on NIC B.  Diadem fails to connect when both networks are connected, but connects to the data store no problem when only the PUMA network is hooked up. Any ideas how to fix this?  It seems diadem is looking at NIC A instead of NIC B, like it should be. 

For reference, when both NIC's are hooked up, I can access share drives, and ping computers on both separate networks, without a problem, so it's not a connection issue.

Any help would be appreciated.

I assume poth NIC have different IP range.

- Did you use IP instead of server name.

- Do you use RPC or CORBA to access the PUMA server?

- Which DIAdem version.

Can you create a logfile when the connection fails?

-Server name -RPC -Diadem v2011 So I tried IP address and it worked. Guess I should not have assumed it would resolve the host name. Anyway, thanks for the help! Cheers! -Russ

Stupid question: how do you get a list on the forum, in my post above, the answers to your question had a return at the end so it was formatted like your question, but when I posted it, the returns were removed, and my post was all on one line....
