Very strange - only the one card is listed. AFAIK, when at work, only eth0 is listed. At home, only eth1 is listed.
On the same machine? Do you have different desktop profiles for work and home? Listed where? In Yast?
I do have them both up in YaST and both set to DHCP. Would it be that they have different MAC addresses? It just occured to me that in addition to the WEP security I lock the network by MAC.
Each card has a unique MAC address. Check in Yast for "Hardware Details" for each card. Configuration Name lists the MAC address as eth-id-<MAC address>, or do ifconfig for each card, eth0, eth1. The HWaddr is the MAC.
Always worked for me when I had both cards. I also setup both cards in Yast.
KInternet > Settings > Various Settings allows you to set the card you want as default on KInternet startup.
One other thought - Check your hosts and lmhosts files on both OS's.
Yeah, the HOSTS file was FUBAR on the Win2K machine. Had a bunch of invalid entries. LMHOSTS doesn't exist - only the LMHOSTS.SAM file.
The IP entries should be the same on both machines for these files. In Windoze: hosts and lmhosts.sam are found in drive:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc; in Linux: /etc/hosts and /etc/samba/lmhosts.
I did a which hosts and which lmhosts on the laptop and didn't find anything. I tried to use locate, but that came back "command not found".
Permission problem with locate. Try to su. Hope this helps. Bernd
