Re: [IPCop-user] New Setup with Netgear FA311s

Tony,
I've had a problem similar to yours with a couple of Realtek cards in a
Green / Red configuration.
The way I got around it was to do the original install with Red as a modem.
After that completed successfully, I went back into setup and changed to
Green / Red NIC type configuration, or in your case Green / Red / Orange.
The firewall then seemed to be extremely happy with the deal.

Hope this helps,

Geoff.
