Hey group,
I'm helping out a friend with his firewall box for media one. He
has a stock Redhat 6.1 machine doing IP Masquerading for his
internal network. Now when we installed it the external nic was
found first and assigned eth0 (tulip driver) and the internal nic was
found second and thusly became eth1 (3c95x). This is causing some
problems with programs that are going out eth0 to get to the internal
network. So does anybody know if I can change /etc/conf.modules to
make the tulip driver be eth1 and the 3c95x be eth0? ie:
change from:
alias eth0 tulip
alias eth1 3c95x
to:
alias eth1 tulip
alias eth0 3c95x
I know I will have to make sure I update the IP addresses and boot
protocol for each interface, and I will have to update the ipchains
rules. The part I'm not sure of, is will everything be ok with
the kernel? (ie: the tulip card is found first, but assigned eth1,
will the kernel be ok with that?)
