Two NIC Network Problems
This is starting to get frustrating, i've searched and searched and havent really found anything that helps me!.
First NIC came with my cable modem it's Eth0, Slackware 9.1 configured that automatically, it works and everything is good until i put another NIC in for Internet Sharing with my other system running Windows XP...the second NIC becomes Eth1 and is detected on bootup. Heres my problem, with two NIC's DHCP seems to get confused to which interface to listen on for Cable Internet, eth0 or eth1...because when that second NIC goes in, Internet is disconnected and both cards vanish from System Information... Code:
From Slackware Bootup DHCPCD is broadcasting but not getting a response Code:
Eth0: SMC1211TX EZCARD 10/100 (Realtek RTL8139) at 0xe0a21000,00:e0:29:73:8a:16, IRQ 5 Now since i'm such a n00b how can i configure DHCPCD to listen ONLY on Eth0 Interface, so i can have both cards in and still remain connected to the net? And is it possible to specify which NIC to configure in Netconfig, everyone time i run it seems to only configure Eth0, even when i have both cards in!. :scratch: In Conclusion help a network n00b out Thank you for your time! :) |
I also got the same problem...
please help.... -AKHMAD- |
you should configure dhcp (client) not dhpcd (daemon)
you should call: dhclient eth0 -you may want to just alter startup scripts. I know RH uses XXXARGS variable in every init.d/* script, so you just put eth0 into that Regards |
try changing /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.config
there is a line: DHCP_HOSTNAME[1]=<value> in your file this value is probably yes, it should be no |
