Re: multiple adaptors - 1 ethernet card

[adam <adam@looney.com>]

I was able to do it by throwing
something like this into my modules
file
eepro    io=0x300    irq=5
eepro -o eepro1    io=0x310    irq=10


You can also put stuff at the
end of lilo
append    =    "ether=irq,io,eth1"
Hope this is helpful.

I've loaded Redhat 5.2 and configured the 2 NICs and the HostName, Name servers & Search domains, Default gateway, Other routes, Hostname search path,  and info about other hosts.  The problem is I can't set two adaptors for eth0 as we have in our current router (networks 1 & 2 use eth0).  I use linuxconf to set the adaptors.  When I enter the second adaptor as eth0 it replaces the first one's IP addresses and blanks out adaptor 2.  Then adaptor 3 (eth1 - the cable modem) moves up to adaptor 2....  Any suggestions?   Thanks
