Hi

As long as both are connected to different segments, yes. That is a windows
limitation.
SQL server will listen on all NICs by default so it does not care. The Os
provides the functionality. The bigger challenge is to get your DNS to
change quick enough otherwise some users will hit the dead IP.

Hi,
Segments are networks or part of. You might have one segment with a
192.168.1 ip address and the other with 192.168.2 ip address. If you have
two network card in a machine they can be connected to two network segments.

The issue you raised is a Windows issue and depends on how you setup the
cards

Cable redundancy is working for Win 2003 server when applied a hotfix as
given in KB : http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...b;en-us;817690.
But we facing the same problem in Win XP SP2. Any clues.
