x10a Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 (edited) Hi guys,I use my win2k3 server as my gateway, I have recently obtained another line(dsl) and wish to use both of them at the same time(not as fail safe, but more like either a round robin connection). I know it is possible to do it in linux, but can you do it with windows server?I have 3 nic and running Routing and Remote access (NAT). 2 minute network map(cable)Wan 1 -----------------------|Nic 1 (DSL )Wan 2 -----------------------|Nic 2| Windows 2003 |-------------------- |Switch| ---------------|WorkstationsThanks!

cluberti Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Windows doesn't support multiple gateways in this manner - you'd need your ISP to provide this (a hardware solution) in front of the Windows box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x10a Posted December 12, 2007 Author Share Posted December 12, 2007 teaming nic requires some good NIC and also I don't think it can serve as wan.Thanks for the replies, think I may have to run vmware and run a linux distro to solve that issue.

phkninja Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 What you are referning to is called Bonding. Although it is probably possible using software on a windows server, most implementations I have found are done on *nix. It may be possible to add a *nix frimware patch to a router to make this possibleInfo on linux bondingHereBoot image (can run on usb)Router configHereor purchase something like belowThisEbay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
