Re: two nics, one ip

Oh,

Some more information: The two interfaces are going to different
switches, and they are Intel Gigabit nics.

Are these two switches on separate network segments?

Right Click on My Network Places, choose properties from the pop up menu,
hold the Ctrl key select the two NICs, Right click, select Bridge
Connections from the list, Right click on the Network Bridge, choose
properties, configure the bridge with the 192.168.1.3 IP address. The
network bridge should be connected to two physical Networks and should not
face each other.

Is there a way to have two separate network interface cards have some
sort of failover redundancy with one ip address (two nics with one
ip, say 192.168.1.3, both cards pointing to that, or some
implementation of redundancy)?


If you are wanting redundancy, you need NIC teaming or a hardware bridge.
