>I have a newbee question. I have managed to make Linux come up ok using two network cards. I am doing this because I wish to establish a server workstation system on my home DSL hookup. One Linux server talking to DSL and a hub to the rest of the workstations at my house Apache .....
>My problem is that as soon as I add a second ethernet card I can no longer ping the Linux server. I am using a Realtek 8129 and a 3c509. The 3c509 I plan to hook to my DSL and the 8129 to the internal network. For the sake of the experiment I used addresses 192.168.174.107 & 108 respectively to set the cards up. If I only have one card (eth0) installed everything works. As soon as I install the second card (eth1) I can no longer ping the server. When Linux boots both cards check [OK].

I'm doing the same thing on my home network. I just got a "Beast" to add to my 5 year old Sony VAIO. Email me at jerrykreps@jlkreps.net and we'll share
info.
