For pci cards check they are visible to the system with lspci For isa cards try using isapnp or check what are the jumpers in the card to see IRQ. Usually you would like to have different IRQ for each card. When booting your computer you shall see a BIOS message with a list of devices... check both cards are there. What is the output of ifconfig -a ? What is the config for eth0 and eth1 in your /etc/modules? If you can switch from eth0 to eth1 and back.... What you mean switch cable? Are you able to connect a crossed cable to eth0 and ping it? The same way for eth1? But no connectivity eth0 - eth1? My gut feeling is your hardware is well configured but your network not. Check what ip address and mask are you using for each NIC. Check how is routing configured... It may be pretty normal that you can not ping eth1 from eth0 if your network is not well configured. Are you trying ipmasquerading? Check that as well. Regards, Pep Serrano. On Wednesday 08 May 2002 18:35, steve wrote:
Hi. Our server needs 2 ethernet cards, on internet and one local. I can get either the local lan or the internet by swapping cables but not both at the same time. Swapping the cards still only gives me eth0 active. Yast (version with 8.0) identifies both no problem and the little green lights are on. Adding a third and fourth card results in the same problem. Any ideas anyone? Is there anyting in Bios I should know about? This is a new machine with a new install of 8.0.
