2 nics for failover/load balancing

Not sure if this is the right forum to post this in, but
I would like to take 2 nics connected to my router
and spread the load among them and/or use them
for redundancy. All I can find in Technet is how to
set up load balancing clusters which require multiple
computers. Can't this be achieved w/ 2 nics in one
machine? Can it be done natively or w/ 3rd party
software?

I can't remember exact steps, but one must install a protocol or service (I don't remember which), and tell the two nics to use the protocol/service, then you give it one IP address so DNS will not be a problem!!
I did this once a ways back, so its a bit foggy.. sorry!

Would this be to achieve the same thing as I have done by connecting my server to my cisco switch and using 2 compaq nics with the HP teaming software?
I have 2 x 100mb links working as 1x 200mb link and if 1 goes down the other continues. They have 1 IP address & mac address assigned to them both.
Are you connecting to a router to have 2 seperate subnets?
