It'd seem like this would work but I have tried it and, according to Veritas, Backup Exec doesn't do multi-honing. You'd have to change your network config on the webserver so the internal NIC is your primary device. Like I said, I've tried it and the NIC setup went flawlessly but the agent couldn't connect. We dicked with it for a couple hours and finally broke down and called Veritas and they said that kind of setup wasn't supported. ____________________________ Mike Neuharth ADCS Technology Specialist http://www.umn.edu/adcs E-Mail : mjn at umn.edu Page Mail : 6126486512 at page.metrocall.com http://supermonkeycollider.dyndns.org/ ____________________________
