Hello networker !

We plan to install our running Novell Netware 3.12 with two redundant
100MBit switches. Therefore we will install 2 similar network interface
cards to gain the redundancy. Running IPX protocol is due to IPXRTR no
problem and the redundancy works fine. But it seems to be not possible
to bind one IP-address to both network interface cards. We have only the
provided TCPIP.NLM loaded.

Now, have one of you guys ever played with such a configuration and
sucessfully bound the same ip address to two NICs ?
Anyway, we do not plan to install SFT III (although I am afraid this is
the only solution).

Thanks in advance, Georg
