2 Ethernet Card to be used simultaneously

[tamade]

I there a software that can manage my 2 Ethernet cards in my computer. For example using 2 Ethernet cards simultaneously (shotgun).

Or
Is there something that I could configure in 2000 Server that would enable this feature.


Right now I have 2 Ethernet cards on my computer but when I an downloading stuff it only uses one of the two.

You need a NIC and switch that supports it, and the switches that support bonding aren't cheap.

Ya, there was a big discussion about this a few months ago. You can do this but you have to buy an ip address for each nic, your isp has to support it and you have to have some hardware for it. It is not cheap.

Why would you want it anyway?

You could do it behind a router if you own a switch that supports it, but you'll always be limited by your ISP's connection to you no matter how much power you throw at it.
