I've a system (FreeBSD 2.1R) with two NICs: WD8013 and NE2000. I want to plug both of them into the same IP network, on the same cable. I ifconfig the WD8013 (ed0) first, and it goes fine. When I ifconfig the NE2000 (ed1), I get an error message as follows. # cat /etc/hosts 194.9.12.7 h1 194.9.12.8 h2 # ifconfig ed0 inet h1 # ifconfig ed1 inet h2 ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists When I then do "ifconfig ed1" the parameters (IP address, netmask and broadcast address) are fine, but I can't ping the IP address (h2), even from the machine itself. The routing table shows that the address (194.9.12.8) is reached via link#1 -- which is sort of correct, as that's the interface to the 194.9.12.0 network, but that's not what I expected (link#1 == ed0). Any ideas? Thanks, Mike <mike@NetworX.ie> ---
