For a subnet which is /30 CIDR or 255.255.255.252 you should get 4 IP's:

A-ha, that sounds as a clear case.
All reloaded, sorry for the confusion but I rearranged things to test
and see if eth1 became primary. Again no link :-( I will also try with
eth2 and eth3 but I have my doubts; I even changed the cable and no joy.
Something is definitely hinky!

I am almost sure there's no problem with eth1. Check with ifconfig, the
ip config is set okay now. Did you test already pinging ping
192.168.140.2 from ping 192.168.140.1?
I can't ping anywhere from the eth1 interface :-(
In addition I tried eth2 as the server has 4 NICs... it doesn't even get
recognized by the system??
I'm sure it's the driver or kernel bug.... though I could be wrong.
Convince me?
I stuck my laptop into the same port using the same cable and hey-presto
I got an IP address via DHCP.
If I set Debian to do the same I get nothing, and static also doesn't
work meaning the network fabric is fully functional however, something
is wrong with the NIC - either physically or a driver.
I could try it using port eth0 and I'm sure it will work fine as it's up
and running on a different subnet now.
Hmm..... I'm at a loss :-(
Thanks,
