Compaq NIC Mirroring

lardum · May 18, 2000

Hi, I want to be able to mirror two NIC's in a Compaq 1600. The NIC is integrated in the motherboard and i will purchase a Compaq NIC now. Is this possible and where can i find the drivers?

No this isn't possible. I called Compaq about this myself. It seems that the Chipset on the Imbedded NIC is different than all the other NIC's Compaq makes. As a result, Teaming with the Embedded is not possible.

Yeah, i've found out this too... Will buy two equally NIC's to team them. Thanks anyway for your response.

It depends on what the chipset of the embedded NIC is used. If it is netelligent embedded , buy a netelligent NIC. If it is Intel-based embedded, buy a Intel-based NIC. For your information, all new Compaq NIC will use Intel-based chipset. As a result, it's possible to team up embedded NIC with an additional NIC. Regards, Y.W.Ng
