Hey folks!
Well, the cable modem finally arrived, but I'm still having problems
with my Linux box. I had my co-worker/Linux advocate over to try and
help me set it up, and we're at an impasse.
The computer has two NICs in it, one ISA, the other PCI. Linux sees
one, but not the other. Of course, it doesn't see the one that the
cable modem is plugged into (ISA). And with MediaOne, they need the
MAC address of the card at their end in order to make it all work, so
I can't just plug the cable modem into the other one.
Of course, that won't solve my problem anyway, as I want the Linux
box to be a server for the rest of my computers!
Here are the Specs:
I'm running RedHat 6.0.
The NICs are both Netgear (BayNetworks, NortelNetworks, whatever they
are these days!).
The ISA is model EA201c
The PCI is model FA310TX
The ISA is PnP *compatible* (as far as the box reads), and according
to some stuff I found on the web, should work under Linux. But we
couldn't get it to work (alas, we discovered this near the end of the
night, and couldn't spend a lot of time on it before I had to take my
Linux Advocate (LA) home).
Since my LA is a grad student, he's busy now and then going home for
Christmas/mid-winter break. So if I'm to get this working before
February (a goal of mine), I need HELP!
We tried a number of options, I couldn't tell you them all, but I can
find out. I do know that we even tried taking out the PCI card and
then getting Linux to see the ISA card, and it was no go.
Both cards work fine under Win98, which is currently serving as my
firewall/IP Masquerading server. So I'm certain it's not the socket.
What can I do, what steps should I take?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!
