Network error Windows 7

Anyone ever see this error before? do you know what it means ? how to get rid of it?
-
did some google searching about Multiple Gateways and this is what I came up with:
"This is not an error but it's just a Warning. you'll get this warning when your working with 2 NIC s. You should select Yes in this case."
From This SIte -

Yes, I have seen it.

@wrcombs I've never seen that before. Weird stuff

This was my first time seeing it. Upon further research it's just a warning because we are using 2 NIC's.
-
I've seen this many times, jump back in to properties after clicking 'Yes' to verify they are correct.

It means exactly what it says. You have two NICs with default gateways configured on both. It is just letting you know that things may not work as intended. I see that all the time when I'm doing network work, and fiddling with my DG so that I can route traffic the way I need to for testing.

No, because I carefully never do that, lol.

Only happens if you try to set two default gateways.

I didnt do this, this is from someone saying " This is how I think it goes" and changing settings.

Also something to avoid
Random people who don't know the basics, making completely crazy configuration changes... that's a disaster waiting to happen. Imagine if they were doing that on a PCI network or something

They did! we use 2 NICs, one for internet, one for the PoS system so they are "seperated" the best they can be. They stacked and added IP's to the PoS NIC, So all of the PoS were accessing the internet...

Only happens if you try to set two default gateways.
Seen this with p2v type conversions too. Old adapter still exists in the process, when you add the new virtual nic, you can see the message as the two 'configurations' exist with the same gateway.

Sure, but the internal POS network doesn't have a gateway to some place else inside it, right? So you don't have a gateway on that network interface.

So you don't have a gateway on that network interface.I dont believe there is a gateway, its just communicating within the PoS and the back office.
If that were the case then I shouldn't be getting this message correct?

Shouldn't. The warning seems like it would be genuine - it's warning you that someone messed up the configuration.

When I used to have these type of setups, I would set the gateway to the POS and set the metric to 10 for either that NIC or that subnet. That's assuming that you're talking directly to the one and only POS and nothing else on that network. While you don't have to alter the metric, it helped stop Windows from wigging out seeing two NICs or two IPs and two gateways on one NIC. If you experiment, you can always put it back. Different VASCs and different brands & processors specify what's ok with them. Because PCI.
