Make sure you hard code = different IRQ's and Base IO addresses to the cards. If you have two NIC's you need to make sure that the cards are both = plugged in to different networks. Look in /etc/rc.conf and copy the = line for the first NIC and edit it for the second nic. Make sure you = only have one Default route, otherwise you will confuse IP completely.

It is listed by ifconfig -a and I have been able to assign it an = IP number. However it won't ping! The original card (same make, comes up = as ep0) pings quite happily, but the new card just sits there and then I = get "The Host is Down" messages. I know the card is operational as it works fine on its own in another = machine. What is going wrong?=20 Any help would be greatly appreciated. ------=_NextPart_000_0176_01C08AF1.5E04D3E0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.50.4611.1300" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Hi</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>First of all, although both your NICS = work under=20 another OS, there is no guarantee they will work under FreeBSD. = Make sure=20 you hard code different IRQ's and Base IO addresses to the=20 cards.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>If you have two NIC's you need to make = sure that=20 the cards are both plugged in to different networks.
