NIC

We are buying a new server and the guy from Dell suggested a server with 4 ethernet ports an he said this will give you more pipe for your remote desktop users because we will have about 30 users logging on. What does he mean about more pipe and is it true that you will hook all 4 port to your switch? If so how would you configure them since they will all have ip addresses.

You can use nic teaming: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/network/r35278/broadcom%20nic%20teaming_1.1_final.doc
That way you create one (virtual) interface of 4Gb.
NIC Teaming on server and of course you have to configure it on switch side (LACP, PaGP).
