Re: A gateway solution ?



Thanks for the info, ok, to cut things short, they can all install on
"ne" (Compatible NE2000 Ethernet Card). I think that is what you meant
by modules.

Ok, I have re-partitioned the hard drive to the following :
hda1 is "/"    (400Mb)
hda2 is /var   (150Mb)
hda3 is swap   (100Mb)

Right now in /etc/modules I have "ne".

And the network file in /etc/init.d is configured for the first
installed ethernet card. What I was trying to ask was how to install the
other two ethernet cards. Here is the table:
eth   io     irq  module  ip             subnet           gateway
----------------------------------------------------------------------
eth0  0x320  09   ne      192.168.1.1    255.255.255.0    None
eth1  0x200  03   ne      195.76.46.62   255.255.255.224  195.76.46.33
eth2  0x280  15   ne      192.168.1.253  255.255.255.0    None

Right now, eth0 is installed, so I have the first network card working
with the configuration shown above. I installed it when installing
debian, on the hardware selection part, but it only lets you install one
card per module.

Thanks

Neil.
