I have asus A7N8X deluxe Mother board with 3com and forcedeth ethernet ports. nvidia forcedeth is eth0 and 3com is eth1. I have crossover cable connected to eth1(3com). I have both debian and knoppix along with winxp. When the pc is connected to laptop through eth1, it works in winxp and knoppix. but not in debian. /etc/network/interfaces is same in both knoppix and debian installation. lvghomepc:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces # /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)
