J.C., Servers have two network cards on the same subnet all the time. Doing this on a workstation running (essentially) a server OS should not be an issue.
I have narrowed the problem down to something in my routing tables. I took a look at it when one NIC was enabled and then again when the second NIC was enabled and the routing table was screwed up. I did a 'route add default gw 192.168.0.1' and this fixed part of the problem. I can now get to 192.168.0.1 as well as get out on to the Internet, but I am still experiencing some packet loss when hitting the Internet. Need to tweak it out a little more but I am not having any luck finding any relevent info :( -Chris On Saturday 08 December 2001 21:54, you wrote: > Chris, > > Why two NIC's in your LMDK workstation, I mean, what is the purpose for > this setup?
