I have RH 6.1 on my desktop system, kernel 2.2.14. I
presently have a 3com 3c900 installed and working with
my cisco DSL router. I have an extra NIC, a netgear that
kudzu nicely detects and "sets up". What I would like to
do is install this second card such that my laptop is
connected to the net thru my RH 6.1 desktop system.
The laptop is an IBM ThinkPad 1400 with a 3com Etherlink
III 3c589 PCMCIA card. I also have Caldera's OpenLinux
2.3 installed on it.
I tried first just installing the netgear card and
booting up. As I said, kudzu detected it fine but
I found that I could no longer communicate with
my DSL router. If I ran dhcpcd, it would ultimately
timeout without ever acquiring an IP from my ISP
(uswest). I also was unable to ping or telnet into
my DSL router. When I removed the netgear card,
all was well again.
I had thought to simply configure the netgear card
AFTER installing it (naturally) and didn't think it
would automatically cause a problem, but it did.
How do I proceed here? What howtos do I need to
read about this? I need to know how to get these
two cards to coexist as well as how to setup my
desktop system so that it will permit my laptop to
communicate with it and connect to the internet
(via my desktop via my DSL router). Can anyone
help me out here?
