Hi The utility which you invoke to allocate 2 Ethernet Cards with one single IP address is called network teaming. You can get more information about network teaming at http://www.compaq.com/products/servers/networking/teaming.html.

It usually is named team ou merge (it's the same). After you install the drivers it will let you choose if you want load balance or failover. The IP will be the same. If you configure them correctly you only need to give one IP. Sometimes you need first to give one IP to each NIC and then you create the team. After that only one IP will be used. The other IP will not exist, will not replay. It is very important that both NICs be conected to the hub/switch because (obviously for its porpose) of the internal tests of the software thar is mantaining the loadbalance or failover. To explain the process of having two NICs each one with IP and a third virtual one (this is not your case), we must have first some software to configure that and then we need to configure mac-multicast on the switch. The switch automatically learns the mac-address of each nic and we must configure the third IP (the virtual one) with some mac-multicast address on each port. Of course that the some software that created de virtual IP must also choose (like does any kind of heartbit/loadbalance protocol) wich node will acept that session and discard it on the other node. Normaly, that session will continue with the real IP of the node that accepted the session). This is very used in firewalls with more than one node working in cluster with load balance.
