Adsl & Lan


Dear forum,

I am a newbie in linux.
I have just installed mandrake 9.1 server in my office computer.
Currently my office is having two winnt server.
I face problem,
1) I want to establish the connection to my Winnt server and
connect to internet using my ethernet ADSL modem. People suggested to put in two network adapter to the pc. I do so, but i am unable to do the connection successfully.
fyi, my network adapter
- SMC
- Comptex

but,

2) If i put only one network adapter, i plug in the ADSL cable to it, the ADSL modem works fine. I configue it in Madrake Control Center.

3) If i put only one network adapter, i plug in the LAN cable to it, i can ping the winnt server ip and other pc in the LAN.

Anyone face the same problem, but already solve it, please give me some advise,

thank you.

You have to give each adapter a different IP address.

Are the two IP address different? Are the two MAC address different? (Do an ifconfig for that last one).

Cheers--
