That is a no-no. The BSD networking system doesn't support multiple cards on the same segment in the same machine. Routing becomes infinitely complex in this scenerio; no one can tell just who (by hardware address) to send the packet to. Take one or the other out and you should be OK. I'd suggest the NE2000 :) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major Spam routed to /dev/null by Procmail | Death to Cyberpromo
