First you have to configure properly the two network adapters. It seems to me that your machine is recognising only one network card. The dummy is only for dynamic allocations of IPs. your second card should be 'eth1'. If you use YaST configure first eth0 and then eth1with the appropriate modules, then reboot the machine and finally check with the following command. ifconfig you should see something like this : eth0 Link:10Mbps Ethernet HWaddr 00:E0:00:29:69 inet addr:yourIPaddress Bcast:broadcast_address Mask:255.0.0.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:32323 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 TX packets:185 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 Interrupt:10 Base address:0x300 eth1 Link:10Mbps Ethernet HWaddr 00:E0:00:29:69 inet addr:yourIPaddress Bcast:broadcast_address Mask:255.0.0.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:32323 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 TX packets:185 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 Interrupt:5 Base address:0x240 Try also 'dmesg | grep eth1' you should see the modules for the card if properly installed. I suggest you to get a copy of TCP/IP Network Administrator by O'REILLY as well it's cheap and VERY usefull. Hope it helps! Edmunds, Keith wrote:
I'm trying to set up a DHCP server, but it fails to start as I have two network adaptors with the same address, eth0 and dummy. OK, I could remove dummy, but what is the correct solution to this problem?
BTW SuSE, nothing in your sdb_e about this...
