I recently purchased a new Dell PowerEdge 6400 (Dual-NIC)... and have added it to my network after having installed NT4TSE/MetaFrame1.8 onto it; with both nics plugged in i get no connectivity whatsoever; when i disconnect one of the nics i get connectivity with the other nic, but still can't log into the domain (doesn't matter which nic i enable/disable; just one has to be disabled) and when i completely uninstall the drivers for the second nic (again .. doesn't matter which of the two i disable) all works beautifully -- do any of you know of a way to get both nics up and running (for some fault tolerance)?
Thanks!

Hey.
Am I right in saying that that model of the PE range has the Intel NICs, you'll probably find that the two NICs can be 'Teamed', so that they work together providing fault tolerance, one card can fail without any users knowing, they share an IP address, they behave as one.
If I remember rightly the Intel driver puts an icon on the Control Panel, from where it can be enabled.
