 Subject: [Samba] Configuring a samba server with two NICs




FWIW, there was just a discussion on the Dell Server list trying to use a
crossover between two recent Dell servers.
It DIDN'T work.
A normal network cable did.
Seems that some modern cards a suppose to auto-configure, but in this case
it didn't work with a crossover.

Can you at least PING it?

All gigabit devices auto crossover so no crossover is necessary if
both sides are gigabit. I am  not sure this is the problem though. It
looks like ipv4 forwarding needs to be turned on on the machine that
has 2 nics. However I may be wrong as I was a little confused with the
discussion of the two networks and their purpose.
