It sounds like a routing problem to me. Assuming these mutliple
interfaces are on different subnets, there is probably not a route from
one interface to the netview box, or vice versa.
And microsoft does not handle having two interfaces on hte same subnet
very well at all. The OSPF router code can break in this situation, if
you are running that on your NT machines. (Its not a problem for OSPF,
just the microsoft implementation of it.)
