Thanks for the info Charles, it did the trick. I now have two of the three NIC's useing DHCPD for IP info. AWSOME thanks a million, you did save quit a number of the hairs on my head from perishing, David :) ---snip I just tried setting IF_DHCP=eth0 eth1 in network.conf and got the error you were seeing.

RE: [Leaf-user] Please help with 2 NIC's useing DHCPD.
I have, with Charles help, been able to get a LRP box with two NIC's with DHclient for two cable modems and one Nic for the LAN to work. Thanks again Charles. My next step is to get the two cable modem interfaces combined together. I looked in the archives and did not really understand what I read. A few things I saw were, floating static routing, EQL, and Beowulf project. What would be the best direction to go?? Most of my traffic is outgoing. I also do NOT need LRP to be a firewall or to NAT. I looked at the Beowulf.org site and read a little bit and noticed that they called it bonding two interfaces, I also noticed a module, dont remember where, called bonding.o. Is this module the samething that Beowulf project is doing?? Any advice is appreciated, David ___ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
RE: [Leaf-user] Please help with 2 NIC's useing DHCPD.
Thanks again for the responce. I think Im about to loose me mind. Any way. Just to clarify, I added the EXTERN_IF=eth0 eth2 only after the first try of changing IF_DHCP=eth0 eth2 did not work. It is still not working. I have tried redownloading the eigerstein file and even tried the eigersteinbeta2. What kind of network cards are you useing in the system that you got two nics to use dhcp client. Im bordering insanity, if there is any thing else that you think may help or find the problem please let me know.

This is what I have done. **SIGH** Recreated the disk from file eigerstein_1_img_eigerstein.exe. Copy modules tulip.o and rtl8139.o to /lib/modules. Changed file /etc/modules - uncommented tulip and added the line rtl8139 after the tulip line. In network.conf change IF_DHCP to say IF_DHCP=eth0 eth2. Backed up the entire disk. Reboot. IP ADDR SHOW lists eth0 eth1 and eth2. When I do this the result listed earlier in the post happens. If I change in the EXTERN_IF=eth0 to EXTERN_IF=eth0 eth2 in network.conf as well as having IF_DHCP=eth0 eth2 - then I get a bunch of line at boot that scroll very fast that look like the say something like Try '/sbin/ipchains--help .. or something like that. Your problem is the EXTERN_IF setting. You cannot have more than one external interface (at least as far as the default firewall scripts are concerned). Set EXTERN_IF=eth0, leave IF_DHCP=eth0 eth2, and you should be up and running. You'll have to hack your firewall rules, routing setup, and probably a few other things if you *really* want to have two external interfaces...

Re: [Leaf-user] Please help with 2 NIC's useing DHCPD.
OP. I am very sorry, I think I may have made a very bad mistake. The subject line says DHCPD, I want the two nics to be able to get an IP address from a DHCP server not hand IP's out. Have I been asking the wrong question??? If so, I am very sorry for the mix up. No, your previous messages, and problem context, indicated problems with dhclient...I hadn't noticed the dhcpd inconsistency until you pointed it out. Thanks again for the responce. I think Im about to loose me mind. Any way. Just to clarify, I added the EXTERN_IF=eth0 eth2 only after the first try of changing IF_DHCP=eth0 eth2 did not work. It is still not working.

Im bordering insanity, if there is any thing else that you think may help or find the problem please let me know. I am running a system with two NetGear FA310TX cards using the tulip driver. The system is one of my HP Vectra VL series 3 Pentium 75 test systems, with 16 Megs of memory. I just tried setting IF_DHCP=eth0 eth1 in network.conf and got the error you were seeing.

[Leaf-user] Please help with 2 NIC's useing DHCPD.
I am trying to get DHCP client to work on a LRP box (Eigerstein) on two nic's at one time. I have tried to list both in the EXTERN_IF line in network.conf, but only one will try to get an address from a DHCP server. Both card are loading properly. One nic is a KNE110 and the other is a SMC1211. The box is a pentium 100 with 32 mb ram. Can someone please help?? Thanks in advance, David ___ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
RE: [Leaf-user] Please help with 2 NIC's useing DHCPD.
Thanks for the reply Charles. My network.conf is unchanged except for the change IF_DHCP=eth0 eth1. I did include the 's and make sure that only eth1 was in IF_AUTO. After boot it displays messages after the lines for DHCPD that say Please contribute if you find this software useful such as: Listening on LPF/ETH1/OO:E0:29:91:F7:ED/192.168.1.0 Sending on LPF/ETH1/OO:E0:29:91:F7:ED/192.168.1.0 Sending on Socket/fallback/fallback-net Starting additional network services:. [:eth2:unknown operand No interfaces defined for DHCP! Starting /usr/sbin/dnscache Then the next lines are the login.

I believe this should work...Note that you are listing the wrong variable name, and you need quotes around the two interface names: IF_DHCP=eth0 eth1 (or whatever the two interfaces you want configured by dhcp) should do what you want...remember to remove interfaces configured by dhcp from IF_AUTO.
