Hi Jay:
If I have now only eth0 active the internet connection
works. However, if I activate eth1 (LAN NIC) it does
not anymore.
The settings for eth1 are:
IP: 10.0.0.1
Mask: 255.0.0.0
Gateway: 10.0.0.50
The only other PC on the LAN has IP 10.0.0.50
With FC1 it all worked perfectly. Neither did I have
to worry about entering a gateway for eth0. I wonder
what is wrong.
Thanks for your help.
