RE: Dual NIC Problem
Thanks, for the advice. However I did notice that I do not have
/etc/init.d/networks file. I have a /etc/init.d/networking file. I noticed
this when I first started looking but thought that the file names might have
been changed between Debian 2.1 and 2.2. Do you know, or anyone for that
matter, if that is the case? Or do I have a botched installation?
Thanks,
Brian

Brian,
I've grappled with multiple nics a few times, most of the time successfully
but not always. Without being able to
pin-point your problem from here, I offer this advice:
potentially useful commands:
o netstat
o ifconfig
potentially useful files:
o /etc/init.d/networks (basically, this is where your network configuration
is set):
o /etc/networks
o /etc/inet.d
potentially useful books:
o Linux Network Administrators Guide, second edition is out (O'Reilly)
potentially useful words:
o stick to ip addresses until you get you basic network functionality
working, then add a name server on a debian box
(not NT, microsoft's implementation of dns is limited and a bit unstable [go
figure]); get O'Reilly's dns/bind book for
name server configuration
o you can bind multiple ip addresses to one nic, this can eliminate
possibilities of hardware conflicts between the nics
but exposes you to security issues
Good luck and stick with it. It will eventually work.
