Re: [Server-devel] Schoolserver and eth1
Tom, Here's what's weird. The server came with one nic (the box is a Del Vostro). I added the second. Now, only the second works, and only as eth0. And, when it works as eth0, I have an internet connection. I tried installing two new nics, but only one shows up. I would imagine that I don't have the drivers for the first (original) one. Does that make any sense? If so, what could I do? Thanks.

It could also be turned of in the BIOS (I was up till 3am once upgrading the operating system in the hope that new drivers or something would make my sound hardware work, it didn't but turning on the sound hardware in the bios sure did) If so, what could I do? Post the output of lspci. That will tell us what kind of nics you have and hopefully how easy they are to get working. Maybe the missing nic is easy to get working, but if it isn't can you put in a 3rd nic? ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
