Depends on what you want to do. If you want to connect it to another server with two ethernet ports at double the speed, you can do do "channel bonding." If you want to make a private network, you can use it in a NAT+DHCP configuration and connect other machines to the secondary port. If you want to run VMWare or some other virtualization manager, you _should_ be able to dedicate the second port to a VM instance and achieve better instance isolation. > -- > Dave Abrahams > Boost Consulting > http://www.boost-consulting.com -- Michael R.
