Hi,
We are running SBS2000 with around 40 Windows 2000 Pro
clients.
A particular user uses two workstations (or clients) - one
to run a program on that reads a database and the other
machine contains the database files. As we are using
100Mbps network through 3COM OfficeConnect switches, I
thought it may be a good idea to have a Gigabit link (peer-
to-peer) between both machines for data transfer and fast
data reads.
I have bought D-Link Gigabit NICs and a Gigabit switch
with CAT6 leads - installed them on both machines, so each
of the two machines now have 2 NICs - one for the SBS
network running at 100MBps and the other Gigabit peer-to-
peer running through a switch at 1Gig.
I can see through the "show status on task bar" - (the two
small tvs) that the link is 1Gig.
Question is - how do I test that data is going through the
1Gig NICs and switch? Do I disable the SBS LAN NIC? I
don't want to do that as the user constantly looks at
Exchange via Outlook2002 client.
I need help on this please.
