Dual NICs

[russ...@systemconsulting.com.au]

Hi
I have a Win 2000 Server running Terminal Services with dual NICs and
a SQL 2000 Server also with 2 NICs. The basic idea is that both
servers use one NIC to access the local 10 MBit LAN and the second via
a 100 MBit backbone switch to talk to each other.
All users on the local LAN can access the terminal server without any
problem and remote users access the terminal server fine too. The
problem is that the two servers don't talk to each other across the
100 MBit segment.
I'm assuming the problem is probably related to the fact that they are
both on the same subnet on both NICs.
Anyone with any ideas??

Witch IPs have the NICs ?. They are connected with a UTP or connected to a hub ?.
Do you have link ?

Hi Sergio
The IPS are all on the same subnet but different for each card within
a range of Class C addresses. Connection is via a dedicated switch.

NT essentially gets confused when it has more than 1 NIC on the same
subnet.

Also, what bother with the 10Mb segment at all? Plug the 10Mb segment
directly into your switch instead. If you switch also supports channel
aggregation, then aggregate the NICs at layer 2 - this does have
performance benefits.
