Redundant NIC

[TNGL]

Hi, does anybody know how I can setup a redundant NIC to kick in if the other NIC goes down? Can I just give both adapters the same Gateway, IP etc, and then just set the order in which the NICs are used in the advanced tab of ncpa.cpl?

What hardware and OS is this on? HP servers have a network utility which gives the option to 'team' multiple NICs for load balancing/redundancy. I think you'll need something specific to the NIC drivers/software, not standard in Windows.

Ah don't worry now, I've sorted it, thanks anyway . It was Server 2008R2.
