This to introduce redundancy in case one failed (and perhaps to spread the load?). Then, when we restored our old system onto the 520, the network config got broken and I just set it up with one network card. I'm going to have a go tomorrow at setting up the dual-card option tomorrow, but I can't work out how. I guess that you give each ethernet line it's own TCP/IP interface with a unique IP address, but I can't find where to specify the third IP address - the IP address you want both cards to 'pretend' to be. Can anyone help? Also, we have some fairly fancy HP switches - do I need to configure them so that they know about this special setup?
