David, Simply just disabling the unused NICs work well and you shouldn't have to physically remove them. I'm not totally 'sold' yet on the D-Link products, nor the Linksys products, when they are used in a commercial/business environment. Have you looked for any firmware updates for your D-Link and reviewed/updated the motherboard for BIOS updates? Have you tried setting the w2k performance option to background services vs applications? Ensured that your paging file (virtual mem) and registry size is large enough? Disabled indexing service or any other non essential services? Cranked up your ODBC Connections per: http://support.ipswitch.com/kb/IM-20020411-DM03.htm ? Is the IMail server Internet connection stable (latency vs time - spikes - packet losses)? Are there any reported errors in the w2k events log? Please update to SP3 there are a lot of combined fixes that really improve the w2k product - security too. If you can get the server to utilize the 3 NIC's teamed that would be a great way to go.. especially if your ODBC database is located/stored on a separate server/machien.
