Does anyone know a method to Team 2 NIC's which are in different subnets.

One NIC is a Intel Pro1000 Optical NIC with an IP in the form XXX.XXX.16.2
other on is 1Gig Intel Pro1000 MT with an IP in the form XXX.XXX.17.128

where the XXX.XXX in both the NIC's are the same.

I tried PROset, but it didnt' work they way it was sopposed to.

Any suggestions?

You would need to set the subnet mask low enough so that it would span the two address ranges. I actually have xxx.xxx.48.xxx; xxx.xxx.49.xxx; xxx.xxx.50.xxx; xxx.xxx.51.xxx.

My subnet mask is 255.255.248.0. While that is probably too brosd for your application you might try 255.255.255.0.

The idea of NIC teaming is that you have two NICs on the same subnet. It is not a supported configuration that you use NICs on different subnets for teaming.
