Yes I have two cards. I thought of that and called AT&T (isp) and asked which card was registered for connection. It was eth0. Is there a way to bring up eth0 with an internal address so I can try to ping another computer. I tried to bring it up by issuing ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.4 up This address belongs to another box this is currently down. I decided to try that address because it was already set up in the /etc/hosts file. I brought down the eth1 card and tried to ping 192.168.0.2 which is my windows box. eth1 could ping it, no luck on the eth0 John Miller -----Original Message----- From: Eric Stanley [mailto:barnabas at knicknack.net] Sent: Sunday, August 12, 2001 5:43 PM To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org Subject: Re: [TCLUG] NIC Card It looks like you have two cards -- are they the same kind of card? If so, it is possible that the BIOS switched them around so that what was eth0 is now eth1 and vice versa. Might that be the case?
