Can anyone tell me how to configure dual ethernet adpaters.
Would like one for in-bound traffic and one for outout-
bound.

ThankS1
 
Natively there isn't a good way to do that, but if your nics support a
teaming software then you can team the nics. Most newer (higher end) Intel
Chipset nics do support some type of teaming. You can team them for load
balancing or fault tolerant mode.

If you team for Load Balancing, you will accomplish the same concept to what
you are looking for.

But in most cases 1 nic is fine. Your nics are usually not the actual
bottleneck on a system with performance problems. :) Hope that helps some.
