As mike suggested make entry in ifcfg-eth1 as follow: [root@baroda root]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 DEVICE=eth1 BOOTPROTO=static BROADCAST=192.168.0.255 IPADDR=192.168.0.221 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=192.168.0.0 ONBOOT=no --------------------- NV ----- Original Message ----- From: Denham Eva To: "Redhat-List (E-mail)" <redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tue, 23 Mar 2004 12:09:54 +0200 Subject: 2 NICs configuration problem Hello list, To begin with my knowledge on network related subjects is.. er lacking? Anyway I have this old pc Pentium 200 MMX, 64MB ram. I installed Redhat 9 (Shrike), no X server etc. Later I installed two Network Cards. The idea is to create a "gateway" or should that be "router"? Also the idea is to study up on the networking stuff. Configuration something like this... eth0 172.20.1.50 and eth1 172.20.2.60 on it's own subnet, hope I am clear enough so far:-) Well after much reading up etc, I used redhat-config-network to configure eth0. This it "sees" at startup fine, but eth1 it does not. I then run ifconfig eth1 172.20.2.60 netmask 255.255.0.0 broadcast 255.255.2.254 Then eth1 is available, now I don't know for how long it will remain available, I have only booted the machine to see if it won't boot recognizing both NICs, because I can't figure out how to get the info to "stick" so that it will startup at boot. Apologies for the long winded mail, but Does anyone know how I can fix this? OR Direct me to a Howto which guides one through a similar setup?
