Hello

I have installed suse 7.0 on my system and i have tried to add another card after i select the driver and configure its ipsettings from yast and reboot the system, it looses the gateway

can some one tell me how to add another nic without loosing the gatway so that the system would boot and enable and use both nic??

regards Mat Go into yast...system administration--->integrate hardware into system----->add eth1 and the appropriate module i.e., if you have NE2000 make sure you select the right module (note: ne2000 come in two flavors ISA or PCI). Then you need to edit lilo.conf (you can do this in yast but I prefer to do it by hand). Add a line like this to lilo.conf:

append="eth0=0xXXX,eth0 eth1=0xXXX,eth1" Replace XXX with hardware address found in /proc/pci or look in dmesg. Hope this helps :) -- rsweet@socal.rr.com | If you can't learn to do it -o) | well, learn to enjoy doing it Linux, the Choice /\ | badly. of a GNU generation _\_v | |
