I have two servers, each has two NICs and are using one of the NICs to connect to our LAN. I need to connect the two together directly so a DLT tape backup can be shared by both. I was thinking about using a crossover cable between the unused NICs. My question is about what configuration settings I need to change on the servers to make the connection work and to make the backup software use the direct connection?

Thanks. :)

I think In the second nic of both machines is a remote accessing port please tell me whether that is used for network connectivity or any other else
