the reason so many people have problems attempting to do this is that they
attempt it with equipment not designed for the purpose in manners that were
never going to work anyway.

If the NICs are designed for bonding/failover and the switching equipment
can handle it there should be no problem.

I see in a later post that the problem has been resolved, so that's all for
now.

Just so you are aware there has not been much reported success with setting 
up dual port nics/loadbalancing in SBS
can you post the ipconfig for this nic??

  Yes
  I have two IBM/Intel Server NICs (10/100/1000), and one of
  them is disabled, the other is enabled with a static IP
  (192.168.20.99) and currently plugged into a switch
  (nothing else is plugged into the switch).  There is also
  an on-board NIC that is also disabled.  When things are
  running properly, the IBM NICs will be set up as one
  virtual NIC with load balancing and fail-over support and
  will be connected to a switch.  The onboard NIC will be set
  up as the second NIC connecting the server to a 3Com
  firewall/router/VPN.
  In a previous installation, without installing all the
  Service Packs, I did get the server set up to access the
  internet through the second NIC through the firewall and I
  can get another computer connected to the switch to access
  the internet through the server.
  To get the server NIC load-balancing support requires an
  update the the Intel chipset and the drivers for the NICs.
   Those updates require Windows 2000 SP4.  I have not yet
  tried installing SP4 in this iteration, I was going to
  leave that as the last SP to install.
