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
