hi there


i have a question ... its about how to reset ethernet card on linux ... i run SUSE 10 64 bit .

well the server has malfunction on the LANcard .. its say eth2 eth3 .
i have been tryin to delete the card with yast and reboot the pc then resetting the ip again.. but the new ethernet still show eth2 and eth3..not eth0 and eth1 like ussualy ...

i`ve change the LANcard with new one ..
i`ve reset the jumper on MAINBOARD ...
i`ve reset the CMOS
still show eth2 and eth3


any one can help me ??
i really appreciate it


thank you

Since this is a server, do you have room on the main board for several network cards?

I suspect the card is in the wrong slot, and reporting eth2/eth3.

You could also try to reconfigure the lan to use eth2/eth3 instead of eth0/eth1.

thx for d replay bigrigdriver
