Re: adding a second NIC

["Rory O'Connor" <midget@elaris.com>]

Thanks to everyone for help on this...I am getting closer, but still no ping
to my other local machine.  It's no longer giving me the "ping: sendto:
Operation not permitted" error when I try to ping...it's lust looking for my
other local machine and not finding it.

Here's what I've got so far, perhaps you can tell me what other clues to
look for.

At boot-time, everything looks good.  here are the messages regarding the
NICs:

Sep 30 19:17:35 jacktasty kernel: eth0: 3Com 3c905B Cyclone 100baseTx at
0x1400,  00:10:5a:07:29:54, IRQ 10
Sep 30 19:17:35 jacktasty kernel: eth1: 3Com 3cSOHO100-TX Hurricane at
0x1480,  00:50:04:6d:36:ef, IRQ 9
Sep 30 19:17:35 jacktasty kernel: eth0: Initial media type Autonegotiate.
Sep 30 19:17:35 jacktasty kernel: eth0: MII #24 status 786d, link partner
capability 40a1, setting half-duplex.
Sep 30 19:20:14 jacktasty kernel: eth1: Initial media type Autonegotiate.
Sep 30 19:20:14 jacktasty kernel: eth1: MII #24 status 7849, link partner
capability 0000, setting half-duplex.

ifconfig still isn't showing me second NIC after boot, I'm having to add
that line manually (what do I edit so that ifconfig reflects the second NIC
at boot-time?).  But once added, here's what 'ifconfig' returns:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:10:5A:07:29:54

Just for kicks, here's what 'route' returns...

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use
Iface
localnet        *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
192.168.0.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth1
default         gw-081-141.chi1 0.0.0.0

and 'route -n' returns...

Any help/suggestions appreciated!
