Does anybody know of any 3rd party teaming software for NICs? I know Broadcom has BASP, but it only works on Broadcom adapters. We have a ton of Linksys EG1032 gigabit adapters that someone bought a couple of years ago, and I'd like to throw them into some of our older servers that have 100MB cards, but I need to be able to team them for both failover and load sharing/balancing.

Which operating system is the server using? Some of the operating systems have built-in software to allow network teaming.

Sorry for the delay. I just got the alert that you posted a response. Great system.

Anyway, most of the server are running Microsoft Server 2003 Enterprise. There's a couple of 2003 Standards in there but only one or two.

Network Load Balancing looked like it was just for clusters and web farms, which isn't what I need. I looking for single server fault tolerance and/or load sharing.

I'm in similar situation. Did you ever find out which teaming software you can use?

I haven't been able to find any answers yet. Someone said there was a package from Falconstor that would do the trick, but I haven't been able to find it anywhere. It looks like they've shifted their entire product line to virtualization products.

If you come up with something, please let me know. Thanks.
