Hi Julius,
OK so your suggestion works !!! I don't underestand what caused the
problem but.... (YES I did say D R I N K S at Linux World).
Now the 192.168.0.130 is part of a subnet for the workstations, I'm
usinf fixed IP in dhcpd.conf for the ws & assigned static IP for
the servers, remember that I'm running a cluster ! So on the other
servers I also have static addresses with 192.168.0.130 as the gateway
to the outside world ..... is that right ?
BTW why a designated driver ? You actually drive in NEW YORK !!! :-D

K12LTSP Server V3.1.2 with all current updates
Two 10/100 NICs
SMC2-1211TX connected to a cable-modem for internet (DHCP) - eth1
RTL-8139 local lan (Static) - eth0
no firewall
route with gateway via eth0
Problem:
When I let kudzu & neat configure the cards neither work.
Actions
Restart the server without kudzu
Use neat to define the two NIC cards
Activate only the SMC2 for internet
Save & exit
Internet works !
manually configure the RTL8139 - ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.130 up
both work
Restart the network - service network restart
Neither work - no ping, no internet !!!!!
Yes I know you said my first mistake was playing with the network, so I
re-installed everything from scratch but I did run apt-get update &
apt-get upgrade :-(
Prior to having the updates/upgrade the system worked but since then
NOTHING WORKS !!!!!!
Norbert,
first things first: make your eth1 the dhcp interface to the
world, and have eth0 as the internal network gateway. this is actually
important, because the dhp setup will try to put all the dns and default
gateway info for the server. you don't have to mess with cards or even
files - if neccessary just change the assignment in /etc/modules.conf.
after you do that, reboot and see if all is forgiven ;-)
now bottom post. why is the eth0 set at 192.168.0.130? are you subnetting
the natted network? more important: why is thge gateway set to eth0? this
alone will cause the network traffic to the outside to stop.
try the default, you don't have to use neat, you can edit files by
hand: /etc/sysconfig/networks/devices/ifcfg-eth?and
/etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/ifcfg-eth?, btw, those files should be
linked, but if they are not, don't worry, just make sure that they have
same contents.
ifcfg-eth0 should contain something like:
DEVICE='eth0'
BOOTPROTO='none'
BROADCAST='192.168.0.255'
IPADDR='192.168.0.254'
NETMASK='255.255.255.0'
NETWORK='192.168.0.0'
TYPE='Ethernet'
USERCTL='no'
ifcfg-eth1 should look like this:
DEVICE='eth1'
BOOTPROTO='dhcp'
TYPE='Ethernet'
USERCTL='no'
after editing the files, do:
ifdown eth0; ifdown eth1; ifup eth0; ifup eth1
run: netstat -r, see that the default is pointing to eth1! in my case:
default webramph.turtle 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1
try to ping outside world from the server. all might be forgiven ;-)
as one of the inventors of 802.11 told me: "Networks are tricky."

p.s. did somebody mention drinkies? designated driver, anybody?
