Dual Home Server

[KipKasper]

Has anyone ever tried to dual home there sage server?
I find that I can kill the network connection to my MVP when I move multi-gigs of data to the server from my desktop, and I'm thinking, if I pop in a second NIC for the MVP it should keep up even when I'm moving something to/from the server....

any thoughts?

Also, I know I'll need DHCP for the MVP, no worries

Greg, You should easily be able to that, but I'd bet it's not network related. If you're link is Gig E you likely aren't saturating that, but, rather, your disk i/o is likely high.

Run perfmon and watch the avg disk queue. It should be very low. The line graph should be below 20 and avg should be under 4 or 5.

Thanks jredwine,

I should have mentioned, I'm still running a 100mbit network. But I will have a look at the performance monitor.
