I've come in late on this message, so I'm not sure I'm catching it all, but you should be able to assign your two network cards eth0 and eth1 in your /etc/conf.modules. In there, you should see something like: alias eth0 <whatever module you have for nic> (eexpress in this case) options eth0 io=0xXX iqr=X
You should just be able to add 2 more lines like these two only alias eth1 instead of eth0. I could be wrong though. Rob On Thu, 13 May 1999, Jens B.
