I have a Thecus N2200PLUS www.thecus.com/product.php?PROD_ID=43.
This has 2 Gigabit network ports, which when I bought it I assumed I could team to increase speed, but not so - seems one is a "LAN port for connecting to an Ethernet network through a switch or router"and the other a ""WAN port for connecting to an Ethernet network through a switch or router".
In the config I can only set them to IP address in different subnets. They seem to address the same storage though.
So, could I get a second Gigabit card for my PC and set it up with a static IP address in a different subnet to access the NAS?
Primary reason for asking is a tech issue which it might resolve, viz the downstairs PC gets its drawers in a twist when trying to read any reasonable size of data from the NAS when the NAS is attached through the Virgin Gigabit superhub, but is OK through the 10/100 switch, so I could connect the NAS separately and directly to my PC (which is the only one which needs the faster connection).
