Hi. Sorry I didn't explain myself very well. We have a simple server with 2 ethernet cards. One is eth0 and the other eth1, for internet and local lan respectively. Either I can have internet on the server when the internet cable is in eth0 or I can have the local lan (Samba) when the hub cable is in eth0. The card in the second slot as eth1 does nothing. In other words the lan can't see the internet whan the internet line is in eth0 and the local lan via the hub is in eth1, which is what I want. I have another (0ur old server, glad I kept it!) server working perfectly with this setup. Internet comes in on eth0 and out to the lan on eth1. Both cards are PCI. Both cards are recognised by the bios and in Yast. I have swapped the cards from one slot to the other to see if they are both working and they are. The setup is the same on both machines. Shouldn't the bus be available to both cards no matter what their position on the motherboard? There is no firewall on the new machine (although I've tried with it too) and both have squid with exactly the same configuration. I have tried with 8.0 and 7.3 new installs and have stayed with 7.3 as then I have a direct comparison between the machine that works and the one that doesn't. Going crazy. Please tell me it's a motherboard problem! Steve. On Thursday 09 May 2002 11:35, Pep Serrano wrote:
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.

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.
