I want to team 2 NIC's (to get 200Mbps load balancing and redundancy) on a PC running XP Pro for our Quickbooks server. I have this set up of course on our big Proliant servers but they run W2K Server. Does anyone know if XP Pro can bind two network cards together if I put two matching 3Com managed NIC's into a PC?

Thanks!

Some network cards support teaming, so if the cards don't support, the OS won't. Compaq/Intel cards support teaming. You need to purchase cards that support teaming.
