Oh, by the way, seeing the similar post below and the reply, I'd almost
forgotten... make sure that you've used the 3com utilities in DOS/Windoze to
disable the Plug-and-play support on the 3c509. I'd totally forgotten that
that was the first thing that had to happen before making any progress at
all on my RedHat 5.2 Linux box.

It writes the "standard" MS bootloader into the master boot record of the

Okay, I have 2 3COM 3c509 cards on my comp. Now my problem is, that it
doesn't seem to use both of them, just the one with the bigger IP
number!
eth0 has the IP 172.16.1.3
eth1 has the IP 172.16.1.4
Now, when I ping 172.16.1.3, it does NOT respond.
When I ping 172.16.1.4, it DOES respond.
Ok, now I swap the IP numbers, so that
eth0 has 172.16.1.4
eth1 has 172.16.1.3
And again, I ping both, resulting that once again 172.16.1.4 responds,
but 172.16.1.3 does not.
So the problem isn't with the cards. Both are fine. Now I'd like to know
what exactly is wrong.
Why can't it ping the lower numbered IP?
here's my ifconfig:

It overwrites the master boot record (hence MBR) with the code that
forces a jump to DOS.

The problem is in Win because it puts some REMs in autoexec.bat. That
means that you can access CD from Win but not from DOS. The solution is
next: edit AUTOEXEC.BAT and remove
REM -------- CD ROM by Windows 95 ----- (or something like that),delete
line,
REM -----------C:\WIN95\COMMAND\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MTMIDE01 /M:10, delete
REM ---------
reboot your PC and try to access CDROM. If it not the solution, write
me.

The initial link LCP negotiation was apparently completed. The failure
to get a response to the PAP authenticate request may be remedied by
something as simple as a change in the "asyncmap" option, "asyncmap 0"
and "asyncmap a0000" are two candidates. Otherwise more information
is necessary.
There should be a log with more PPP link negotiation messages.
The file and location vary with distribution but they're configured
in /etc/syslog.conf, the right-most column. Here it's /var/log/debug.
You also need the pppd "debug" option.

Well they are both on the same segment. Not generally a good idea.
So I would guess that it finds the first route to network segment 17.16.1.0
and takes it.
If you are going to have both on the same segment, I would suggest having a
route to the
specific hosts(IP), via 'route add -host 172.16.1.3 dev eth0'.
I THINK your routing table should look something like:

How does a poll determine which is the best? Or is it another cynical

two networks. Well...I don't know how to do it.
There are two networks, and I want my machine to be visible on both of
them. I have tried IP Aliasing, but that only gives you an option for
extra IP addresses and not Netmasks. Is there a way to respond to two
Netmasks?
Thanks,

It appears that having the 'asyncmap 0x000a0000' option set is a basic
requirement, at least in the USA. Now it logs in, IF the lines not
busy, but can somebody tell me why an 8 meg dload takes 3.5 hours?
It appears my ISP is only giving so much bandwidth per connection, and
each of them seem to get about 800 cps. On a 56k line, that sucks!
