Does the 5751 support teaming?

From Broadcom FAQ teaming

http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/faq_drivers.php#teaming

When I try to create a team under Window 2008 Server, I receive the following Error:

[0006] Broadcom BCM5708C NetXtreme II GigE (NDIS VBD Clinet)

#2 does not support teaming.

Please select an adapter with NDIS 6 driver.

This is due to the fact that BASP expects to have one and only one binding to the miniport driver, in this case some other 3rd party driver has binding to the miniport. This is usually seen when an anti-virus driver is installed. Please ensure there are no other drivers bound to the mini-port driver, if you want to use BASP teaming Software. To see if there are any 3rd party drivers bound to the miniport driver, open device manager, click on show hidden devices, Network

Welcome to Neowin!

Are NIC drivers updated? I've experienced something similar a few months ago. I had to install the newest drivers and broadcom utility app.

So this also updated your drivers of each nic?

Post the driver details for each nic,

And I would also suggest you post the hidden devices so we can see if anything is bound to your miniport.

edit: Also your 100% sure these nics are fully functional? Ie you used each on their own and working ok?
