Re: dual NICs
hi ya
if you need 4 eth ports for each different ethernet cable...
thats one problem...
- use 2x dual nic pic cards..
- use one quad nic pci card
- but i sounds like oyu need a quad nic card
( intel, adaptec, dlink )..
if you need 4 virtual ip# and dont care that its on one ethernet cable...
than you can use virtual networks ( many different ways )
( one nic...one rj45 cable )
w.x.y.z eth0
192.168.1.1 eth0:1
10.0.1.1 eth0:2
...
( all traffic on one copper ( eth0 ) = good and bad...depending )
have fun
