[techtalk] two NICs don't work

[David Merrill]

Hi all,

My partner is getting upset with me because we've had cable modem for over a
month now and I still haven't been able to get a firewall installed so we
are simultaneously connected. He is *not* happy. So, in the interests of
domestic harmony...

I am running RH6.2, and whenever I try to install a second NIC (eth1), my
first one (eth0) stops working. Do I have to do a kernel recompile to enable
two cards? I'm something of a newbie, having run RH for about 2 years now...
please be kind. ;)

I read the networking HOWTOs on the LDP but didn't find anything about this.
If there's another FM I should R, just say so.

TIA,
