Hello! i have put the 2nd network card into my comp... BTW how can i ensure that the 2nd card is really configured as the 2nd? at boot the 2nd card is set up as eth0 even if in the modules i specifyed it as eth1.. have to unload the odules once booted and load them in reverse order.... there surely some more smart thing to do?
anyway, once the module is loaded and the thing configured (through /etc/network/interfaces) it seems to be up and running (when looking at ifconfig...) but once i try a ping: ping 192.168.0.254 PING 192.168.0.254 (192.168.0.254): 56 data bytes neighbour table overflow ping: sendto: No buffer space available ping: wrote 192.168.0.254 64 chars, ret=-1 now: route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 195.132.239.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 0.0.0.0 195.132.239.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 looks ok to me and : free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 516512 105560 410952 25616 20936 53500 -/+ buffers/cache: 31124 485388 Swap: 248996 0 248996 doesn't show any carence anywhere..... so where's the problem? -- ciao bboett ============================================================== [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://inforezo.u-strasbg.fr/~bboett http://erm1.u-strasbg.fr/~bboett =============================================================== the total amount of intelligence on earth is constant. human population is growing....
