Thanks Heiko Sorry it took so long to get back to you... Other projects came up... Anyway you did get me going in the right direction of hardware... I then had a NIC/display adapter problem... BLAH BLAH BLAH... Anyway all 4 adapters are up. Maybe I could ask one more question. All NICs have different IP's, MAC, Interupts and base addresses. PnP is disabled. Although all NICs are the same running the tulip module. Then how come when I ping an address it is not always associted with the MAC address that shows in ifconfig? There really seems to be no reason to what is going on.... And it is driving me nuts:) It is like I ping ETH0 - unplug the cable - it stops responding - then without plugging back in the cable it starts responding again.? Or I ping ETH3 - unplug the cable and it just keeps on pinging until I unplug ETH0. I have never really seen anything like this before on dos/windows boxes. Is there something I am missing? I had read some threads on "nameif" but was unable to make this work... Maybe my problem here was I am unsure of how to run nameif before loading the interfaces - possibly if you could point me in the right direction here this would clear up. Thanks in advance for your help. Dan -----Original Message----- From: dev...@li... [mailto:dev...@li...] On Behalf Of Heiko Zuerker Sent: Monday, August 30, 2004 4:11 PM To: dev...@li...

Are all NICs the same ? Did you specify the correct MODULE= line in the ifcfg file ? Do you see anything in the syslog (console 10 = ALT + F10) ? What happens when you try to load the module manually ( "modprobe modulename" )?
