Re: Two ethernet cards

[<linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Salaria,

You have to add route on eth1 to ping successfully. For this you can do
one thing. Edit your  rc.inet1 file and add all entries for "eth1" which
are existing for "eth0". (This will include route entry also).

Secondly, to get eth1 recognised during boot time, edit ur lilo.conf
file and add line 

	append = "ether=0,0,eth1" 

after  line "image=...." . Dont forget to activate new lilo.config by
giving command "lilo". 

This should solve ur problem ..

Shishir.
