For PCs connected to a hub:
You need to run OSPF or RIP so that it can dynamically learn the proper routes
over multiple NICs. Everyone can use the loopback on the PC to reach it (and a
dvertise the loopback via the routing protocol)
For PCs connected to a switch:
You can use a NIC that provides link fault tolerance (like Intel NICs). Or you
can use a routing protocol.
