Yes you can. As with all things like this, everything has to match so to speak. The switch must support it, the NIC's must support it and you need the software. Both 3Com and Intel have info on aggragating their NIC's.

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. -- Anthony Michaud Network Administrator eLogix Corporation Pty Ltd Blessed are those who have no expectations, for they will never be disappointed. --Buddha ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: artdekneef@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub')
