You need to use NICs that can do trunking (or teaming as intel calls it)..
and you need a switch that supports trunking (most do).
I do teaming with Intel Pro/100s .. works a treat... need to use the intel
driver, not the windows shipping one, but theres plenty of help on the intel
site to set it up.

Hi all,
Sorry for the OT post, but I was wondering if anyone has had any
experience with multiple NIC's in the one machine. I've looked at QoS,
but that appears to be a method for reducing bandwidth, to support
multiple streams. I want to 'enlarge the pipe' going to my backup
server.
I am aware that the machine is currently underspec'ed, but now that I've
started down this road, I'd really like to be able to solve the problem
:)
Is it possible with W2k, to actually have 2(+) NIC's working together to
double/triple etc bandwidth (Like multilink PPP, where you use two or
more modems to double your PPP connection).
Any info/links etc would be greatly appreciated.
