Hey All,
What kind of eth cards of you using. Let say for example that they are 2
3com cards (pci). If you type "dmesg|less" at the prompt you should see
both cards being initialized. The files that control bindings to these
cards are located in the "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/" directory and
they are called ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-eth1 respectively. You can manually
edit these files making sure that each file has it's respective
settings. If they are ISA cards or something other than 3com you can
append the eth settings to LILO, assuming you are using LILO. Feel free to
ask away for help with the modules if they are not 3com cards.
HTH,
Harry Hoffman
