I'm not sure what the terminology is here.. but what do they call
taking say 2, gigabit lines from a server and combining that bandwidth
into one bigger pipe of 2GB?

Is this trunking? Doesnt this require trunking ability on both the
server nic side and the switch?

We have the dlink switch, but i dont see how this could be done via
the interface.. we have intel pro 1000 desktop adapters built into
several servers *dual nics*.. was trying to find out the technical
details on how to combine a dual nic card into one on 2003 server..

Anyone have any info on this?

Thanks

Some info here, as well as the comments in the previous thread.
