RE: [newbie] eth0 - eth1 problems
Being a new Linux user with +1 day's experience, one thing I did see on the net is that the KNE111TX card can get a bit funny with Linux. Someone else I'm sure will know a hell of a lot more about this than I.

Try from a command line ifup eth0 and ifup eth1 and see if there are any messages kicked back. You may need to go to the Mandrake control panel and select the internet connection and connection sharing and then run the wizard to set up the network and internet connections.HTH Dennis M.
Re: [newbie] eth0 - eth1 problems
I want to know why i'm getting failed eth0, failed eth1 messages at boot. I tried looking through the docs but found nothing. Any help or gentle push would be greatly appreciated.

Any help or gentle push would be greatly appreciated. well here's some gentle pushing: Go to a commandline by opening a terminal (or hitting ctrlaltf1...upto..f6 ) Then login and type:dmesg without the quotes. Use shiftpgup or pgdown to scroll up or down the output and find what's being stated about eth0 and eth1. And/or type: less /var/log/syslog (without ) and look for information there. If you're still clueless after that, come back and tell us what eth1 and eth0 are supposed to be doing on your PC/network and what error messages were there. Don't take it harshly, just trying to push you into a little 'selfhelp' ;o) Good luck, Harm. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [newbie] eth0 - eth1 problems
That all I wanted was a little push. Will try these commands and go forth on my march through LinuxLand.

Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Yep, you can find out by looking in several different places 1. /etc/modules.conf specific alias instructions will be here to assign drivers to eth0 and eth1 2. linuxconf=networking=host name and IP network devices= Adaptor 1 will be eth0 and Adaptor 2 will be eth1 Now to get them working, _very patiently_ try Mandrake Control Center. = Network and Internet. eth1 should be the one connected to your internet connection eth0 should be connected to your local network The reason for that is that Internet connection sharing is set up that way, with eth0 at 192.168.0.1 offering dhcp and forwarding nameservice to the rest of the local network. So if ever you plan to use the Mandrake box as the gateway and just want to use the wizard rather than doing the iptables setup yourself, then you will be ready to do so. Now the internet connection and network setup should work OK, but keep in mind that they are two different setups, and the tool sets one up as the internet access method. Two nameservers are allocated for internet and one for local net. More than three can cause problems. Now as to why they are not working now--there could be several reasons 1. ACPI enabled in the BIOS could have placed all the cards in your system on the same interrupt. 2. The KNE111TX uses the tulip driver so if you see de4x5 in the alias on modules.conf, change it to tulip. 3. The CNET Pro200WL has zero documentation as to the chipset it uses both on the CNETusa and CNET.tw sites and from Dell. Most likely the tech info from Dell would be the only one applicable as it is likely an OEM version of the card specifically made for Dell. I do see articles about difficulty getting the CNet to run with Win2K. Try removing the CNET from your system and detecting only the other ethernet card. If this works, then it is interference or a bad detection which cannot be corrected because no technical information on the chipset in use is available. Possibly I could analyze the problem if you could post the output of lspci -vvv Civileme Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
