Multiple Lan Cards

Are there any issues to look out for when installing multiple LAN cards on machines running WinXP or Win2k? I have 2 PCs, one on WinXP & the other on Win2k, each already has 1 LAN card installed, & I just want to add 1 more LAN card onto each machine.

TIA
 
Nope. I have 2 in mine. One thing though. Try not to make it the same NIC. Sometimes <-- a PC can get confused to which card is which if they are the same card.

I have a 3com card and onboard NIC ECS K7S5A mobo and it works just fine.

Good luck
 
Yes, works fine. I have two dual NICs and a single NIC, all intel and all working fine. The two dual NICs are briged onto each other so they pipe more data into the switch for multi-users using two databases.

briding does not increase bandwidth. What link aggregation protocol are you using?
 
No issues, it's easy.

One piece of advice though: take the time to give your network connections a name. "Internet" and "Local" will save you a lot of grief over "Network connection 1" and "Network connection 2".
 
I've had 2 ethernet cards, 1 wireless card, and a 56k modem installed before. Windows XP is smart enough to handle all of them.
