You mean "dmesg" didn't see the NIC? If so, you need to add an
append="ether=0,0,eth1"
to /etc/lilo.conf and rerun lilo.

Why are you running routed? Remember, routed is different from route.
Routed is for dynamic routing via RIP where as route is for static routes.

You cannot reliably use PUMP with a firewall. The reason for this is that
when your DHCP lease expires and then gets renewed, you might get a different
IP address. If you get a different IP address, you need to re-run the firewall
ruleset to know this change. Pump can't do this. DHCPcd can. I highly
recommend you replace pump with DHCPcd.
Personally, it pisses me off that Redhat did this. Very short sided.

I bet you are going through a massive NAT box. This is common for Cablemodem
/ DSL links. The question is.. are they monitoring you?

Linux is nothing like NT. Linux doesn't crash. Linux is more flexible.
Linux is open.
