My LAN is now 192.168.2.x. My DSL card is assigned 192.168.1.3. I'm using etc/hosts for name resolution.
So the DSL card is an internal PCI slot device? Yes/No
I did ifdown 'eth0' and pinged the LAN from eth1. What happens is that I get no output at all, until I hit [Ctrl]+C, at which point the standard ping summary appears with failures across the board. I've tried pinging with and without the -I to assign the NIC to ping from.
I even switched to a third NIC, with the same results. I checked that the NIC was properly plugged in. The cable is good, as I can use it with no problems if I plug it into eth0 (which is an on-board ethernet port). The hub port is also good for the same reason. Using the same cable and hub port, but eth0 instead of eth1 (a PCI card), I can access the LAN. I have also switched PCI slots.
Excellent troubleshooting. You've isolated it to any PCI Ethernet NIC plugged into available slots will NOT work.
If I plug the LAN cable into eth1, and try pinging the LAN, I get no result. During the ping process, the respective lights on the hub will flash, and the signal meter lights, but only to the first light (low signal strength). Again, this is not an issue at all when using eth0 - only with eth1.
How many PCI slots and what cards are in which slots? The power supply connectors on the motherboards are closest to which PCI slot?
I suspect not enough power is getting to all components. Either its an old power supply that has lost its mojo or you are over loading it; never was big enough to power all this. With hard drives, CD/DVD devices, video card, etc its just too much. One way to verify is unplug from power any device you can to test just the PCI NIC being useable.
When I bring use rcnetwork restart, I get this error message: WARNING: Error inserting ipfwadm (/lib/modules/2.6.8-24.3-default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipfwadm.ko): Device or resource busy Could this be the issue? The system came with this power supply, but I'll try that. I switched out a broken CD for a DVD drive & a CD-RW. I also swapped out a 1 GB HDD for my 80 GB HDD. Not sure why they only had a 1 GB drive in there to begin with, but...
I ask whether your DSL card is internal or not because if it is internal why not use it as your FW_EXT_DEV and use the embedded eth0 as your FW_INT_DEV? Forget mucking about with another NIC unless you want to make it FW_DEV_DMZ?
I don't have a DSL card. I have a built-in ethernet port and a PCI NIC. I'm plugging my built-in eth port to the DSL modem.
