If you watch when it starts back up you'll notice messages to the affect that it's starting interface eth0 and so on. > > the short answer to this is use the connection sharing setup wizard to help configure your nics and get everything setup. the longer explanation is below. when you start the setup wizard give the first nic 192.168.0.1 and the second 192.168.1.1. > > normally the IP you want to use for the first nic (eth0) would be 192.168.0.1 and you can use the 192.168.1.1 for the second nic (eth1). > > your range for the first nic might be something like 192.168.0.3 - 192.168.0.10. (192.168.0.2 being reserved for your nameserver) And while I'm thinking about it make sure you've turned off ypbind and yppasswd. You don't need them and if they're on will give you no end of grief. They're setup to start automagically by default. > > your subnet for the second card as I stated previously would be 192.168.1.1 and your range could be 192.168.1.10 - 192.168.1.255 with your subnet mask 255.225.255.0 or 24. using the latter would look something like this: > > 192.168.0.1/24 = 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0 > > Any machines out on your LAN would be of the second subnet. i.e. 192.168.1.x/24 > > /etc/resolve.conf might look something like this: > > ================== begin /etc/resolv.conf example ===================== > # search yourhost.org your-isp.net > # search yourhost.org > search your-isp.net > > nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx # primary isp dns server > nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx # secondary isp dns server > nameserver 192.168.0.2 # your local dns server > # local nameserver is necessary for your LAN > # to enable good local communications > > # ppp temp entry > # your dialer normally places entries here, however, I've found the best > # performance to happen after all connections are up and running including > # the LAN to make this file chmod 444 so that it's no longer a writable # file and therefore undergoes no more changes. > ================== end /etc/resolv.conf example ======================== > Merry Christmas to you Mark! Thanks for your reply and info. Would the machine normally just sit shutting down eth0? PC never reaches end of cycle - hence problems with inodes on startup. Sorry if i should know , but i'm a very inexperienced newbie .
