Has anyone when teaming NIC's been able to do this with any make manufacture ?? We have 2* 1gb 3com cards, compaq software doesnt recognize them, any add-ons or extra drivers required for compaq to find them?

Compaq use Intel chipsets on their NICs, so no surprise you can't team then.

You need to check with 3Com...

From: Leeds - It was 562.4bhp@28psi on Optimax, How much closer to 600 with race fuel and a bigger turbo?

Compaq teaming is for compaq / intel based cards only..

You cant team cards unless they support it or your switch supports it...

or use something such as spanning tree??

Cheers Fella's, will take a look at spanning tree.

Basically its for our new Intranet server, the old one was giving 504 errors via IE when doing a search of the phone book. We have put it down to network load, therefore, new highpowered server and team the nic's but, we ordered 3com, may have to send back and get compaq.

thanks for you help.
