Hi All, we really need an EFW What Every Admin Should Know document. To that end, and the problem below, I would say that when I move to a different hardware, or change network cards, and you get that problem when the network cards Endian is expecting are no longer there... such as when you restore a backup to a different installation... I do the following:
I plug a monitor and keyboard into the firewall, and choose the "login to console" option, then login as "root". If its a new installation, you will need to use "endian" if you have not yet set a password. Use the command "cd" to change to root, then "cd etc" to get to the "etc" directory. Now type the command " rm businfotab " and hit enter... you will delete the file which holds some of the network card info so that the network configuration will run next reboot, and detect your cards. By the way, it is much easier to get everything going if I only put one network card in at first... then I know it will respond on that card... I can't finish the config because there is only one card, but cancel out at the last part of the configuration, but then I shut down, and install the second network card, or turn it on in bios of the motherboard, then reboot and it will detect and you can re-run the network configuration. I know very little about unix etc, but I'm trying to learn, and sometimes it is hard to learn from people who can do it in their sleep. :) Also, anyone who sees errors or omissions in this please correct it in reply. I'm using Endian 5.1 to be exact. I think the businfotab file is a different location in earlier Endian versions. Thanks everyone, and all the best! - Chad eurlsn> The server I had my endian install had failed.
