Hi.

Due to an FS corruption, I re-installed 8.1 from scratch
on my system. I have been having problems with my NICs
ever since.

I have 2 NICs - one useing the ne2k-pci driver, and the
other using 8139too. Previously, the ne2k card was eth0,
and the 8139 eth1. I was using eth0 to connect to the
inernet, and eth1 to serve my lan.

Now, I am not sure which is which. If I use the same
configuration as above, the NIC connected to the internet
gets the static 192.* ip address. How can I find out
which NIC is eth*? Also, are the drivers auto-loaded?

Finally, if I try to use the control-center to configure
the NICs, I see 2 NICs in the hardware portion, but
"connection sharing" says that it can see only 1 NIC -
eth0 running 8139too.

I am very confused. Please help!

thanks,
Vijay
