only one out of two network interfaces working
I recently installed a Ubuntu 8.04 server in a computer with two phisical network cards. During the installation process the installer asked me which of these two interfaces should be used as primary and he refered to them as eth0 (a 3Com) and eth1 (a Realtek). I chose the 3Com eth0 to be used as the primary network interface.
This is my first time trying to set up a linux box with two network interfaces. I assumed that having detected both interfaces, then both of them would be configured somewhow, at least with DHCP. But after the installation ended I only have one network interface configured. I go to /etc/network/interfaces and there's only the eth0 (fixed IP address) and the loopback configuration. No eth1. This is the original /etc/network/interfaces file Code:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system Code:
# The secondary network interface Code:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart Before you ask, this is the output of the command ifconfig -a Code:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:01:02:05:f2:a0 |
Sorry,
I found the answer shortly after I posted this. There was a IRQ conflict between the two network cards. I went to the server's BIOS and changed the IRQ of the secondary card and everything works fine now. Thanks anyway. This is where I found this information that allowed me to solve this: http://linuxmafia.com/faq/VALinux-kb...ags-error.html What it says is the following: Quote:

Hello Ernesto_cgf,
Well I don't form where does this issue is coming from, but I notice that the MAC address of your eth1 is not correct. :scratch: What happen when you try to wake up the eth1 manually? (as follow) Code:
ifconfig eth1 up 192.168.2.7 netmask 255.255.255.0 Regards, Angel |
