two ethernet cards
I am trying to set up a firewall, however I have hit a
snag that I cannot seem to get around. I am trying to
run two ethernet cards, both of them are Netgear FA310TX
cards, and both are supposed to run on the tulip
driver. When I install the OS, and I set up eth0, it
works fine, right from the get go. However, when I try
to get eth1 to work, it will not do so. First, I gave
both different static ips on the same network, and I
unplugged one and pinged them. eth0 would respons to
both ips, but eth1 would respond to neither. Next I put
them both on seperate networks. eth0 worked fine, no
matter if it was the cable modem or a lan. eth1 will
not take a ping.
the two cards are on seperate ips, eth0 has a DHCP
server on it's side. I type ifconfig and I get this (I
took out lo)
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:CC:53:66:08
inet addr:192.168.1.1 Bcast:192.168.1.255

eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:CC:61:E9:65
inet addr:192.168.1.20 Bcast:192.168.1.255

No major problem here except that eth1 appears to be
getting no traffic.
I type in "modprobe eth0", and get nothing, but when I
type in "modprobe eth1" I get "modprobe: Can't locate
module eth1"
when I type in "dmesg | tail" I get a big list of stuff,
I believe the last three lines are the most pertinant,
they are as follows:
eth0: Lite-On 82c168 PNIC rev 32 at 0xe800,
00:A0:CC:53:66:08, IRQ 11.
eth0: MII transceiver #1 config 3000 status 7829
advertising 01e1.
eth1: Lite-On 82c168 PNIC rev 32 at 0xec00,
00:A0:CC:61:E9:65, IRQ 10.
Someone told me that it was a routing issue, but I have
no idea if that's true or not. I really don't know what
the problem here is, least of all how to fix it.
Obviously I cannot get my NAT server to work if it can
only use one ethernet card. I really hope someone can
help me with this because I was really hopeing to
replace my Win2k server. If you need any more
information, please tell me. Thank you
