In a single WorkStation I need to install two ethernet card, the two card
have different IP address (for example 192.168.1.101 and 192.168.1.102).
I want thet both card are acessible uning a single IP, for example
(192.168.1.100).
I put in my mind that this feature is possible, using a sort of Virtual
Card, using particular configuration.
SomeOne have a clear example to perform this configuration on a Windows 2000
pro. workstation (Not server!).

Thanks.

What are you trying to achieve which can't be achieved using a single
network card?


Jim.

The necessity is this, the two cards are linked in different (electricaly)
networks made to make a redundant connection.

Use the Route command to order the networks by preference:
route change 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 <first network> metric 1
route change 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 <second network> metric 2

The route command will match the network card with the appropriate network
automatically. If that doen't work properly you can add IF 1 and IF 2
respectively to the end of each command above.
Do a 'route' in a command window to read the complete syntax.

Peter
