two nic in the same subnet
This is a discussion about two nic in the same subnet in the Windows Networking category; Hi! I write from italy and i hope my messagge is understandable. I have a windows 2000 server in a network. The server has two nic with ip address in the same subnet: 1 nic) 10. 0. 0. 1 255. 0. 0. 0 10.
Hi!
I write from italy and i hope my messagge is understandable.
I have a windows 2000 server in a network.
The server has two nic with ip address in the same subnet:
1 nic) 10.0.0.1
255.0.0.0
10.0.0.2 gateway
2 nic) 10.0.0.5
255.0.0.0
Both nic connect to a switch and the switch connects
to a router adsl.
I hoped that both nic will function but it function only one.
See the route print in this page html.

How can i do for make them to work together?
(or what can I do for getting to work together? )
Thank you and i hope that help me

The ONLY reason to use two network cards is to do routing, otherwise its not much use. In this case it is not routing but duplicating what the other card is doing, and there is not reason to be using it. I suggest removing the second card altogether.
OP
Ok you are right!
But i would like to understand because there is not reason to be using it!
You understand me, please.
I think the problem is in the software ip of windows 2000 that doesn't support two contemporary nics in the same subnet.
You think this, too.

Teaming NICS for port aggregation, load balancing, and/or fail over capabilities is something that should be hardware and not software dependent. Spanning tree should disable one of your ports on the switch to avoid routing loops.
