[dba-Tech] Using both NICS

Yes. I'm using both NICs on my desktop. You can either run them as two NICs
at 100mb each, or bridge them. Mine gives 1gb when I do that. We've done the
same on the servers at work, which are 2000 and 2003.

Subject: [dba-Tech] Using both NICS

I have two Server 2003 machines which run SQL Server 2005.  I have these
large databases (100-250 gig files) which I need to ship back and forth
between the two servers.  It literally takes hours to send these files
between these two machines over gigabit NICS and a gigabit switch.  

The motherboards in these machines have dual NICs.  Is there any way to tell
SQL Server 2003 to use both NICS to send data out of the machine, and to
receive data into the machine.  IOW can I cut my time in 1/2 somehow by
using both NICs simultaneously?
