I mean both the multi-cpu server and this troubled SAN storage server. What makes me frustrated is that the multi-cpu server is a DELL PE2650 with one bcm5700 and one e1000 nic and I can handled them quite well as i intended to. for the san storage server (with two cpu's), it is an hp proliant DL850 also with one bcm5700 and one e1000 nic and it causes so much troubles

Just to clarify a bit of confusion. You say "more servers and desktops under the same subnet will also need to access these two servers." We are talking about one server here right? Larry S.

You need to subnet these two NIC cards. They need to have masks that separate them. Where are they going? Are you trying to achieve more bandwidth than the fiber provides? If so, there would have to be greater than an e1000 on the gateway anyway. Larry S. Brown Dimension Networks, Inc.
