I have a database server that has a bottleneck in the network interface. I would like to add another NIC to the machine. OS is Win2k Server standard edition. DB is SQLServer 2K standard edition.

Is it possible to bind 2 NICs to the same IP address? How? Does it require
special NICs or software?

If not what is the best configuration to have the server use both NICs?

Thanks,

Yes it is possible. I can give you specifics, but need more technical information on the server such as, brand, model and nics installed. It does require specific hardware and software.

Intel server, with Intel NICS. NICS are different models, one is built into the mainboard the other is an add on.
