Unfortunately teaming was not designed for the application you are describing. It was used so a large number of machine could access a central server and the server interfaces were being exceeded.

Even if you were to team 4 or 8 ports on your server and nas it would still only use 1. This is a fundamental thing on port aggregation works and the methods it uses to choose the port. There are some proprietary things where you can hook the nas and server directly but both have to support these non standard methods of combining nic cards. The vast majority only support the standard 802.3ad

This issue is part of the reason most enterprise installation have abandoned teaming and have gone to 10g ports.

I picked up a apple airport express witch is plenty for my home wireless. but not so much for LAN and so I got a netgear click switch.

I'm running a nas for video rendering and 1gigabit is to slow. so I wanted to go ahead and set up teaming for a 2gigabit speed. since my Asus mb has dule LAN and picked up a extra pci for the server but I can only get 1gigabit through put. I assume I'm not doing it right then.
