I am trying to set up a Linux box to be a proxy for my Internet connection vi=
a cable modem.=20
I am using SuSE 6.4.=20
Here is the output if I do an ifconfig. Two questions about it follows:=20
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 08:00:09:2B:7B:70=20

Question 1:=20
The HWaddr of eth1 is not being read in correctly. The real numbers are 00:60=
:B0:1D:36:64. The DOS utility that came with the card to flash its memory (fo=
r address, DMA, IRQ, etc.) displayed the correct address (confirmed by lookin=
g at the numbers on the card myself).=20
How can I get Linux to read the number correctly?=20
Question 2:=20
Other than the HWaddr of eth1, is there anything else that looks funny? I sho=
wed the ifconfig output to a friend and he thought that the RUNNING MULTICAST=
on eth1 looked fishy. Can someone tell me if this looks right for what I wan=
t to do, and if not, inform me on how I can correct it?=20
Thanks in advance for your help.=20
