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.

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:

That is generally a
hardware based solution. it is not really supported with win2k
software.

Isn't there a way to combine Nics for
load balancing and/or better throughput? I forget the term for that.

Why on Earth do you have 4 nics? That
would be a much better way to
start,

Subject: Very slow logon with Multiple
Nics
Doing a small Windows 2000 installation
with 4 servers. 2 of the
servers have 4 NICs installed.
Haven't done any tweaking beyond
dropping the OS on the machines.
The two machines with the multiple
cards take almost an hour for the logon
process to complete. What could
be causing this
problem?
Please email any response to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] My access to the
Internet is somewhat limited in the
field, but I can get my email.
Thanks,
tim
