Please ignore my previous message - I mistakenly sent it incomplete
I need to add a second Dual Adapter for the rh62 system - remotely. The adapter was inserted, machine booted - no telnet connection to it. From the explanations of the local people, I understood that they can ping the router (default gateway). But can not ping anything behind that - they could before. The routing table looks like exactly as it was before. We removed the card, booted the machine, this is the ifconfig -a output: [root@frankfurt ~]# ifconfig -a eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:D0:B7:5F:BA:A2 inet addr:XXX.88.180.2 Bcast:XXX.88.180.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:6221788 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:6493836 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:9502 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:11 Base address:0x6000 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:D0:B7:5F:BA:A3 inet addr:209.28.124.34 Bcast:209.28.124.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:6602425 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:6326445 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:21005 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:11 Base address:0x8000 eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:D0:B7:5F:BA:5A BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:11 Base address:0xa000 eth3 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:D0:B7:5F:BA:5B BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:11 Base address:0xc000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3924 Metric:1 RX packets:32 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:32 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 It can be concluded, that all 4 adapters are using IRQ 11 - looks strange. I can not play too much with the system, because it is abroad and stops reacting to telnet after unsuccessful attempts.
