Hi Guys,
Added a second NIC to a basically stock COL 3.1 installation. The
system had a 3c59x NIC on the MB, it was set for a static IP with a
gateway. I added a PCI Linksys, tulip, NIC with another static IP on a
separate net but no gateway. Well the original NIC stopped working,
3c59x, it would not receive data that was, by all appearances makeing
it back (the act light was blinking in the appropriate manner). Tried
moving the IP's around on the NICs and the problem followed the IP, the
eth's worked fine with the standard IP and no gateway setting.
Spent hours fiddling, finally got it going, but I think the next reboot
will put me back at square 1. I got it going by killing the eth1 and
removing the tulip module, would've been the same with the 3c59x I am
sure. Reinstalled the tulip module and resetup the eth1 interface.
This was all done using the graphical kcontrol program that came with
COL.
The symptoms are that the machine takes for ever to bootup and keeps
sending out ARP packets asking after the gateway and DNS IP addresses.
I will of course provide what other information you deem appropriate.
