Re: eth1 - inactive

["A. Benjamin" <postbox new-wen net>]

Here is something weird: 

As the reportshown by ifconfig, lo, eth0 and eth1 pings successfuly.

However, eth1 carrier is 20 [don't know what that means] and has collision of 170. 

I still can ping it withe no packets lost. On the other hand, eth0 reports all is well. 

I can ping it as well with no packet lost and no errors reported. One interesting thing is,

 when I had eth0 at ip address 192.168.0.1, it failed to ping, but eth1 reported no 

errors what so ever. No collisions, no carrier, no nothing? I will eventually use this machine 

with the two ethernets as a gateway to the internet once all errors are conquered.  

The below is a snap shot of what ifconfig reported. Any suggestion?

Try $ ifconfig eth1 up

then $ ifconfig

if its up then ( Redhat ) [ but you get the gist ] more /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1

if is shown then just edit it for

That is of course if it loaded in the first place

Hello forum, I need help putting in two Ethernet cards. The first one I installed has no problem. It works fine. It was also installed before I loaded Linux 5.2 Apollo version. When I installed the second, it does not register as being ACTIVE. I use the commands: ifconfig and dmesg to see if the second shows up; it doesn't.I also went into the network configuration under the GUI, added it manually, but still to no avail. Can anyone hint to some suggestions?Thanks, Alvin.
