Re: how to configure two network cards

[Umer Ahad <umer gcs com au>]

I am not as such experienced in "Problem Solving" but am giving it a go
here....

The way you have worded your query seems like you have just started on
Linux like me :)

The way I understand what is happening in your machine is, you have one
device configured as eth0. When you plug one card it takes that....either
of the cards, the first one or the second one. Since you do not have your
second device configured, you can't really do much.

On your prompt type 


%> netcfg

and this will more or less make your life easier. (Some other expert may
be able to tell you if this thing existed in 6.2 or not...if not, you may
want to try out linuxconf as that can also do the task for you).
