HI,
I wish to know if it's possible to configure two lan card
as one (redundant).
I wish that when a card will go down(KO)the other one
automatically backup it.
 
This is usually a function of the card's driver. 3Com, Intel & others make
special cards that can be "teamed" to act as one, either to double your
speed or provide redundancy. They are usually billed as "Server" NIC's.
 
Just curious if you got it to work. On XP you can create a Network Bridge
which will enable you to use any NIC. However, this will only be useful if
you connect to two seperate switches. I'm not sure on Win2000.
