Re: [newbie] setting second NIC to broadcast

[Ajudgeone]

I had and have a similar problem.  What about if you run ifconfig -a, does it 
show the Eth1 and Eth0, but the Eth0 says "UP BROADCAST" and the Eth1 Says" 
Broadcast."  I  have experienced that on both my Linux machines.  I fixed one 
by changing the BIOS, but the other computer is quite stubborn.  On both 
occasions, the hub and ethernet lights light up though
