I am regretably not on my machine, however, (just by memory) you should look in your menu for a system (?) item (I find it in gnome as well as in kde) there is a network config there where you can select which card should be used and I believe configure the network parms for that card.

I would have to be on my machine in order to help more... Lionel --- fernando@usicomputer.com wrote: > Hi Alex, > I have this motherboard with two network cards onboard, I loaded RH7.3.
