If you need a different motherboard check out the newer intel motherboards
you'll need one that supports PCI-X, then you can use the 4-port intel
ethernet card, or the two port ethernet card. These will be in the
entry-level intel server motherboards (and beyond entry level), which will
come
Hi:
I am running Freebsd 5.4 and have problems with
multiple nics.
It works with two cards (intel); those cards are
active and passing traffic (I can ping other
machines).
But I failed to make them working with third card and
fourth card; the interfaces are up, active and I can

Did you add those pc's to your NAT rules ?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Are the NICs all on distinct subnets?
You can't put two NICs using IPs on the same subnet without taking more complex
issues into consideration like bridging or channel
No, there is no firewalling or anything. My first step
is to get four interfaces working.
Right now only two are working properly. Another two
are not working (I can ping them but they just don't
pass traffic).
It is Dell OptiPlex. NIC's are intel pro 10/100.

Thanks Chuck:
Yes they are on different lan subnets. I am trying to
build a freebsd based router that talks to four
different subnets.

If the nics are all PCI you may have trouble with the shared
interrupts. You may need to use a multiple port adapter to get the results
you want.

Thnaks Derek:
Well, I shut down what I don't need and I can see
those shared irqs. I guess you are on the point.
My problem is that I can only use Intel pro 10/100
cards.
Is any motherboard that come with flexible BIOS so
that I can play around irqs?
Thanks
