Thanks for all the input. Apologies for the text and line length issue. I hope this message is improved.
I tried the various suggestions with varying success: 1.tried using rtl8139 with 8390 without success (same signature as before) 2.tried HOSTS0 eth0_IPADDR ... instead of eth1_IPADDR without success 3.tried 8139too with 8390 and finally successfully configured both NICS So I am using a D-Link DFE-530TX+ as eth0 with the 8139too module and a NetGear FA311 as eth1 (internal) with the natsemi module. ping to the ISP IP and to the eth1 IP (192.168.1.254) both appeared to respond favorably, with 0% packet loss (yippee). lsmod shows: 8390 (unused) natsemi (used by 1) 8139too (used by 1) pci-scan (used by 0 [natsemi]) Does this imply that 8390 is unnecessary? It seems that SHIFT-PGUP only works to scroll the screen for kernel messages until I log in. Is that normal? Now I can proceed to try to get the Win machine applications to access the outside world (mail, http, etc.). Is it necessary to enable these within network.conf? Again, thanks for the input everyone. I really appreciate it. Mike _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
