RE: Very slow logon with Multiple Nics

Title: Message

It’s still based on the driver though.  I’ve used this with Intel and Compaq NIC’s successfully.  With the Compaq NIC’s, you have to load the Compaq Load-balancing driver (or similar).  The Intel’s on my Dell servers support it as soon as they are installed.  It’s quite nice actually.  If you have Cisco switches, you can also configure most of them for FastEtherChannel, so the throughput is increased both in and out.   Ben Winzenz, MCSE Network/Systems Administrator Peregrine Systems, Inc.   -----Original Message----- From: Ray Zorz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2001 9:28 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Very slow logon with Multiple Nics   ok. Just throwing it out as a possible explanation why they have 4 nics, although I would think some of these solutions would work by now in w2k:   http://www.win2000mag.com/Articles/Index.cfm?ArticleID=3957 -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Miller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2001 9:10 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Very slow logon with Multiple Nics That is generally a hardware based solution. it is not really supported with win2k software.     Kevinm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ All spelling and Factual errors are the fault of Bob Barker ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ please respond back to rent this ad space for your needs -----Original Message----- From: Ray Zorz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2001 6:09 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Very slow logon with Multiple Nics Isn't there a way to combine Nics for load balancing and/or better throughput?
