RE: Dual NIC Problem
Well it sure didn't take to long to reach the limit of my knowledge. I
really don't know where to look to find what services are running. I found
a /etc/services file but that looked more like porting information (telnet
23/tcp). I could not find anything that had the a telnet 127.0.0.1 110
line. Sorry, I am a new user.
I am trying this as work and we are on an ethernet network running TCP/IP on
class b numbers. There are only two Debian machines on the network right
now. Both are purely experimental at this point. I did check the hosts
file at it does have the machine name and IP number. When I said I could
ping I meant I can the IP address not the device name. I don't have
anything set up for name resolution right now for these machines. We are
basically an NT & VAX shop. The second experimental machine that has only
one NIC card I can telnet into just fine without any problems. In setting
up the second NIC card on the first machine I could not find much
documentation so I just decided to edit the /etc/host file and added another
line with the same device name and a second IP address on another segment.
Then I went to the /etc/network/interfaces file and added a iface eth1 inet
static section defining the IP address, netmask, network, broadcast and
gateway numbers. That all I did. I could not find much more information in
the How Tos, online documentation or SAMs Debian Unleashed book. I am sure
I have missed something.
In any case thanks for the help and I hope I have provided enough
information to fuel an answer.

Do you have any services running that you could telnet into? For example:
telnet 127.0.0.1 110
or something like that to see if anything is running.

Sounds like a name configuration error. How is your network set up? Are you
trying to
access a home network from work?
