Re: Multiple NIC on same subnet in one machine

Correct me if I'm wrong. The max speed of your hub/router/etc is going to determine the max bandwidth, not how many nics you have connected. I mean if all the traffic is going to the same subnet, I don't see how there's gonna be a bandwidth increase; wouldn't that be like saying I could take 10-100baseT nics, connect them to my 100mbit router and get a gigabit out of it?
