Very Computer

Hi all,
Any guidance is appreciated.

Running RH6.0, kernel 2.2.5-15, with 2 PCI Intel EtherExpress NICs
(using eepro100).  My idea is to bind eth0 to TCP/IP & eth1 to IPX. My
problem is while the eth0 interface is recognized at boot-up, eth1 is
not.  Also, eth0 is assigned an IPX address which I don't want to
happen.

I am able to login as root:
ipx_interface delall
ipx_interface add -p eth1 802.2 00008022
and ncpmount to mount a NetWare directory on the Linux box.  But I'd
really like to automate that process.

How do I: 1.get eth1 recognized at boot/  2.stop the IPX address
assignment to eth0 / 3.automate that process.

I checked the BOOTUP and ETHERNET HOWTOs and couldn't find my answer.

What am I missing?

Look under /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/.  You should find a file
called "ifcfg-eth0".  Copy it to ifcft-eth1, and edit to fit the
interface you want to be eth1.  That should take care of the
eth1-at-boot problem.  Not sure how to fix any of your IPX stuff, but
that might be easier once you have the system booting in the shape you
want.
