how can I team my intel pro dual netowrk card in Windows Server 2003 R2
HI, I have the Intel® PRO/1000 Dual Network Card Server Adapter and I'm looking to enable load balancing/Fail over. It says in the documentation that I can use Adaptive Load Balancing (ALB) - which is what I'd like to do but it doesn't say how.
can anybody tell me how to set this up?

You should have received the Intel Advanced Networking Services software with the card. You simply install this in the OS, and it will load balance among the available network adapters, and automatically bypass any failed links. It creates a virtual network adapter that your system will use ... which automatically maps to the physical adapters using Intel's Advanced Networking Protocol.

I have the disk. I have installed the drivers, but there doesn't seem to be a link to any extra software on the CD.
What do you see r.e. Network Adapters in Control Panel - Networking?? [Post a screen shot]

Attached is a print screen.

I'm not certain, but I believe the Connection #2 is the virtualized driver ... and it's already using the two physical cards shown below (as "disabled" -- because they aren't directly used).
If that's not right, I'm not sure what you need, as Intel's site does not have a separate download for this card ... they simply note what I indicated above => that the Advanced Networking Services software handles the load balancing automatically.
A simple test: physically disconnect one of the ethernet cables and confirm everything still works :-)

Hi,
I had to disable one of the ports because it's on my mail server and when both were enabled the mail connection went down, I suppose there was confusion with DNS. Connection 2 is the first (configured) port on the duel port card, connection 3 is the other port on that card. The other LAN connection is the original on-board card.

In that case I'm stumped :-) Clearly what you need is Intel's "Advanced Networking Services" driver ... but they imply on their site that it's shipped with the card => and there's no separate download that I could find.
I'd call (or e-mail) Intel ... once you get to the right guy (it can take a bit) they're very helpful --> and I'm sure will get you the driver you need.

Get this;
You cannot use this tool over remote desktop.
This means that you cannot see the Teaming or link speed tabs over a RDP connection.

I object to a deletion. You indicated you want to delete the question because "... I called intel support and they gave me the correct answer." Note my advice in post #22113105: "I'd call (or e-mail) Intel ... once you get to the right guy (it can take a bit) they're very helpful --> and I'm sure will get you the driver you need." [... would certainly seem to be the solution you used :-) ]

Sure, but it wasn't a driver issue. I don;t agree that telling a user to contact tech suppose it what this site is about. If that was the case what would be the point?

As I know no idea what the negative impact on the expert is if I don't award the expert the points I find the decision hard to make. Although I do not necessary agree that this type of 'Resolution' is worthy of points, if by pointing one in the right direction is saying "In that case I'm stumped" so call Intel tech support. I will award the points with a C grade as I feel that this type of support is not what this site is about.

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.
