I installed the dhcpd RPM off the 7.3 CD (don't dick> have version info here) Ok, I just looked at the RH 7.3 dhcp package. You can put this in /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd: DHCPDARGS="eth1" Then set the service to start automatically with: /sbin/chkconfig dhcpd on and start it right now with: /sbin/service dhcpd start However, if you have specified eth1, it probably isn't starting due to problem #1. You would see a message from the DHCP server in /var/log/messages to that effect. dick> 1b) /sbin/ifconfig shows only "lo" and "eth0" and nothing for "eth1" Yes, but what does "/sbin/ifconfig eth1" show? By default, ifconfig without any arguments only shows interfaces that are UP. By specifying eth1 explicitly, it will print out that interface whether it is UP or DOWN. Alternatively, you can do "/sbin/ifconfig -a" to show all interfaces, UP or DOWN. dick> 1c) There is no /etc/modules.conf file on my machine. Strange. Is there a /etc/conf.modules? There really should be one of those two. Otherwise, eth0 most likely wouldn't work, either, unless you compiled it into the kernel. dick> 1d) I think the module is 8139too, because when I temporarily pulled dick> the Realtek card (eth1) I got a message during the attempt to startup dick> ETH1 complaining about that module by name (did not get complete dick> message). Ok, so /etc/modules.conf should have at least this in it: alias eth0 tulip alias eth1 8139too dick> I did some fiddling with modprobe (which I don't understand) after dick> reading section 2.3 of the Ethernet How-To (Using more than one dick> Ethernet Card per machine).

These are PCI cards, right? Then you don't need any of that. The PCI BIOS autoconfigures the IRQ's and addresses. What you can do is: /sbin/lspci -v and check to see if your Realtek shows up there. In there it should also have IRQ's and addresses assigned. This command should get things going manually: /sbin/modprobe 8193too After that, check "dmesg" output and see if there are any error messages about loading 8139too. If not, "/sbin/ifup eth1" should start up the network on that interface. -- Charles R.
