setting up a second ethernet card

setting up a second ethernet card

Post by James A. Robertso » Mon, 14 Jun 1999 04:00:00



I have an intel etherpro 100 (works fine) set up to a cable modem with a
static ip.  I have a second ethernet card configured to local LAN.  I
can't ping the machine (from other boxes) through the second IP.

Route table:

I'm not even at the point where I can set up IP Masq; I can't get a
local ping through.  Anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong ?  eth0 is
a PCI card, eth1 is an ISA 3c509

Thanks

The only thing I can tell you is that I had a lot of problems with an
ISA 3c509b and I finally "fixed" it by putting in a different card.
Apparently there are things you can do to make the 509 work (something
about enabling support for legacy ISA devices).  

The problems I had were more or less just like yours.  The card seemed
to work, but I couldn't ping anything and nothing could ping me.
After I replaced the card with a newer PCI card (a 3c900b), everything
worked fine.  My conclusion was that linux support for the 509b was
imperfect.  I don't know if that conclusion was fair, but whatever.

good luck.  When you resolve this situation, please post a note about
it for my edification.  I'd like to know how to make the 3c509b work
if it really is possible.

regards,
GW

setting up a second ethernet card

Post by jeffbr.. » Fri, 09 Jul 1999 04:00:00


I have had no problems getting dual 3COM 3c509B ISA NIC's working on an
older PC(486DX4)under RH5.0. I am setting up a second newer system with
RH6.0(also with dual 3COM 3c509B ISA NIC's) but have'nt spent enough
time on it yet.

One thing I did have to do to get it working on the first PC was disable
PNP mode under DOS using the set-up utility provided with the card. This
is well documented in the HOWTO's. Since the 3C509B is a tier one
supported card I would be very surprised if it did not work with RH6.0.

E-mail if your interested in the results on my second PC.

Jeff

1. how to set up Internet gateway/how to set up two ethernet cards on Linux

I need to set up one of my two Linux boxes as an Internet gateway for my
two-machine LAN.  First off, I have both machines each using an Ethernet
card for NFS.  Now, how can I put in another card in each to run a TCP/IP
network between both machines and then the Internet (which must have
another Ethenet card in it to connect to the Internet *breathe*) - I mean
Linux can only handle one Ethernet card!   To top it off, the router
handling Internet traffic is connected via a SCSI controller!!
(Morningstar SnapLink routers).

I really need a Ethernet-pro out there to contact me!! I am in a real
mess here!!!

- Thanks!
