I have a machine with (4) interfaces and here is what I use for /etc/conf.d/net : mac_eth0="00:50:DA:61:31:1C" mac_eth1="00:48:54:62:64:FD" mac_eth2="00:40:F4:D0:B1:96" mac_eth3="00:48:54:62:64:FC" iface_eth0="192.168.2.20 broadcast 192.168.3.255 netmask 255.255.255.0" iface_eth1="192.168.3.11 broadcast 192.168.3.255 netmask 255.255.255.0" iface_eth2="14.173.99.102 broadcast 14.173.99.103 netmask 255.255.255.252" iface_eth3="192.168.4.11 broadcast 192.168.4.255 netmask 255.255.255.0" I had troubles with the machine inconsistently assiging a given ip address to a specific card. The 'mac' statements seem to nail this down for me. The is for a single static IP address but there are examples for dhcp in the /etc/conf.d/net.example file too. Note, this experimental router is using the old syntax and is scheduled for lots of upgrades, so I post it here, as an example that seemed to work for the problems I encountered a year ago. I'd be open to other ideas..... and comments. hth && ymmv, James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
