Hi John I don't think so, but some NICs have four ports which you can run in parallel (trunc) _if_ the switch allows. /gustav >>> jwcolby at colbyconsulting.com 24-03-2008 17:14 >>> 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? John W. Colby Colby Consulting www.ColbyConsulting.com
