In my experience and has been mentioned before, 2 nics on the same *subnet* are often a problem. The system has a problem deciding which is the actual gate to that subnet and usually causes a lot of hangs and slowdown in network communication (if it works at all).The machine use to be on two networks and was reconfigured. Don't know why it was reconfigured with two cards on the same network but when I realized that it was configured this way I figured there maybe a reason. Not sure what, but need to ask before I took the interface down.
Thanks
I do not ever recommend that config.
However, I have not seen multiple NICs on the same physical network cause a problem as long as the IPs do not cause a subnet conflict.
The routing table.
Question: Why are you using two nics on the same network? You can generate some very odd network problems doing that. Routing loops can get created that will send packets around and around your network until they expire from ttl.
