dennis99 Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 I just bought a new server with dual NIC cards. I run static IP on my network. Should I give each NIC card it's own IP address? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuzzman Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Will this server be routing your internet? If so, one should be your external interface (probably public ip) and one will be private (static). Otherwise, only using one should be necessary.

dennis99 Posted January 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 No, Its a domain controller internally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Perhaps you would like to Bridge the connections? This can be done by creating a new connection, and selecting Network Bridge.This will configure both ports the same, and each will act as a DHCP server.For example, I have a computer with dual NIC's. Both a bridged to provide internet for two laptop computers. The IP of the bridge is 192.168.0.1. It assigns IP addresses from 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.255 to connected computers.
