During the install process, LM7.1 only picked up one of my ethernet
cards (PCI D-link DFE-1530TX 10/100) which it recognized as a "Realtek
8139 10/100 (rt18139)" (I assume that's ok). My regular ISA 3c509 card
was not recognized, why ?
I want this machine as a firewall & IP Masq, web and mail server.
So I want the 3c509 (ISA) as the internet accessible one for my
cable modem, and the D-link (PCI) card for the local network
attached to a 100Mbps switch.
After the install, ifconfig only showed "lo" but no "eth0".
/etc/conf.modules did have "alias eth0 rt18139" in it.
I used linuxconf to try and setup network interfaces so that
eth0 was the 3Com card, and eth1 was D-link. They showed up
ok in conf.modules, but after a reboot there was nothing
in ifconfig and no net access.
I vaguely remember (3 am) not installing DHCP packages because
I planned to assign IPs to the local network. My @home modem
does give a DHCP IP, but I did not think I needed DHCP on
my side (am I wrong?).
I do have a name.com that I can use to set up the box, however
none of this seemed to get the network working.
Help please !
Thanks... Dan.
