Hi
The thing is that I've got a computer with multiple network cards, and can't connet it to internet. It looks like everything has been installed, but after
"ifconfig" I've got something like this, without eth0 and eth1

a computer is 64 bit tech. if it's metter
thx

A couple of questions:

1. Did you run "netconfig" and enter information about your network (to use either DHCP or explicitly tell about IP address, netmask, gateway)
2. Did you connect a network cable to the network card that represents "eth0" device? The "netconfig" command will use the information you entered to configure "eth0" so if you have connected "eth1" you won't have a working network

To see the answer to question (1) please show us the output of the commands:
and
For the second question, you can check what interface is actually connected to the network by checking the output of these two commands (the second and third command are only needed if the first command doesn't show anything conclusive), and could you please post this output if you can't find the answer yourself? Run the commands as user "root". Look for "link" information, like "Link detected: yes" or "Link OK"
If it is the eth1 interface that is connected, then you will have to edit the file /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf by hand, and apply all the values for eth0 that you find there (the array elements with [0]) to eth1 (the array elements with [1]), and after editing run Eric

It looks like the Ethernet interfaces are there, they just don't have any IPs set.

Are you trying to have them setup with static or DHCP?

The easy way to setup the NIC in Slackware is to run "netconfig", but I am fairly sure that will only do it for one card.

ok, here is output for

I used 'netconfig' "DHCP", but it could be the same with "STATIC IP" for multiple network cards, probably.
isn't it?.
Thx, and sorry for that late respond, I've been out of town.

hmm..u dont seems to using DHCP here. Are you sure the same thing happens when u set to static ip using netconfig? Maybe you can try to edit the /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf directly without using netconfig. just a guess

Both "mii-tool" and "ethtool eth0" report no link. I don't see any output from the "ethtool eth1" command, but in any case, the network card that you connected to your network is certainly not eth0.
In /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf I can see that you only configured the eth0 interface (which is what happens when you run "netconfig").
The simplest solution is open the file "/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf" in an editor such as vi or pico, and add DHCP support for the eth1 interface - change into This way, it will not matter which interface is connected - one gets an IP address from the DHCP server, and the other one will wait a while until it decides there is no DHCP server to be found.


Eric

Thanks,
can you tell me one more thing, how can I configure 2 diferent IP adresses for 2 diferent domains?

Your question makes no sense to me. Perhaps you can try and rephrase it? What is it that you want to accomplish?

Eric

Hi
I had have dhcp connection but I'll have 5 static IP addresses and I want to use 3 of them for diferent domains(http,ftp)?
Does that make any sense?.
Thx

Are you saying you have five public IP addresses routed to your machine, and you want to bind specific services to each one?

If you mean you own multiple domains and want to run http and ftp server, for all of those domains, with different content for these domains, and tie an IP address to each domain, then what you want to read about is "virtual hosts".
You will also have to bind all those IP addresses to the single network interface of your computer - you can do that by directly editing /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf and adding sections for network interface aliases. Suppose your external NIC is called eth0, then it's aliases would be called eth0:1 eth0:2 etc...

Eric

ok
Thanks for Advices.
ps. I let you know how it goes, soon.
