Here is my question - I have a small home gigabit netowrk with several computers, an ISP via a router, etc. All run XP Pro. I would like to know if I can do the following: Set up a second network using a dual-port NIC, port bond the NIC's, add a second link-aggregation capable switch, and connect that switch between the computer and another computer dedicated to file storage, also with a port-bonded NIC, to increase my throughput between them, and map the drives on the computer that is dedicated to file storage. However, I also want to be able to access my other home networked computers and internet from that first computer with its original built-in NIC. Can this be done? And please, respectfully, if your only reply is "get Linux" or "Why would you want to do that", don't bother, ok? I only want to know if it can be done, and how. Thanks.
