Using NetBeui will solve the problem of name resolution, but it also means more traffic. Putting NetBeui only on the second card and is good, but is that second card attached to the same network as the first card? Then you will have a lot of chatty traffic on it.
Also, since you are using SQL, then you have to make sure that it will allow connections using the NetBeui protocol. I belive that it would be the Named Pipes selection, but I am not positive, a DBA I am not. A backup plan that would prevent the traffic issues would be to use HOST files. If you are using static IP addresses, and don't add machines a lot, then setup a HOST file with all the addresses in it. Tom, Windows name resolution is somewhat dependant on a protocol, NetBIOS. Windows doesn't speak to DNS naturally (Yes I know that they say that Win2K does, but it still likes NetBeui better). The first choice for name resolution, by default is LMHost file and then WINS. Both are NetBIOS based name resolution modes. The next is HOST and DNS. W.
