Re: [TCLUG:2546] Configuring for 2 Network Adapters

Here's my notes from a very similar setup. I know you'll follow it, cause
the guy who helped me through it is a real genius :-)

...
However ifconfig only shows this one card (and the loopback):

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback  
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Bcast:127.255.255.255  Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP BROADCAST LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:3584  Metric:1
          RX packets:70 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
          TX packets:70 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:80:48:D5:50:A0
          inet addr:10.0.0.10  Bcast:10.0.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:99 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
          TX packets:120 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
          Interrupt:3 Base address:0x280 

As expected that's the RL2000 card, 

Following Gordon's advice I made the following changes to the following
files: 

/etc/conf.modules looks like this:
==================================
alias eth0 ne
alias eth1 ne
options ne io=0x280,0x300 irq=3,10


I copied /etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-eth0 to /etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-eth1 
and edited it to look like this:
==================================
DEVICE=eth1
IPADDR=207.1.203.202
NETMASK=255.255.255.252
NETWORK=207.1.203.200
BROADCAST=207.1.203.203
ONBOOT=yes
...

Does this help???
