ringfinger Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 (edited) A server based system for a network environment is one example... thats the primary thing I would think of... Edited January 5, 2007 by ringfinger
CoffeeFiend Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 They can be used for tons of different purposes: NLB (and more aggregate BW), redundancy, routing and NAT (like sharing an internet connection), bridging networks, they can be used in vmware by guest OSes... You name it! And that's just plain old wired ethernet adapters. There's lots of other types of network adapters, from wireless, modems, firewire, DVB cards, non-ethernet NICs (e.g. token ring), non-UTP ethernet NICs (e.g. fiber), more "specialized" network interfaces (e.g. HPNA), etc. If you count those, there's even more uses.That's much like asking what a 2nd car could be used for...
