lerxst2112,

your suggestions are excellent.. tomorrow night i will have time to try it out.

I will start by disabling a nic, and then if that doesn't work. ill switch which one is disabled.

from another thread

c0crete suggested
netstat -an | find /i "9000"

here is the output from that if you are curious:

something is definately messed up with having two nics IMHO, becaue when routing to a VM running on that same box , eqemu runs fine with the two external ip addresses each routed to their own VM
