Problems getting 2 NICs to work.

[Kevin Kimmell]

Here are the ifcfg-eth files. And currently I have eth1 set to NOT be active by default on reboot since that caused problems.

eth0

# Please read /usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt

ONBOOT=yes
USERCTL=no
PEERDNS=no
GATEWAY=12.168.88.254

DHCP_HOSTNAME=dtweb02

DEVICE=eth0
HWADDR=00:0E:7F:30:52:53

Thread hijacking does not mean that you reask a question previously
answered, but that your own posting appears to be part of an unrelated
topic. So your mail header contains

And yes, this is the proper "forum" for asking such questions regarding
Fedora use.

Ok, good.

Please paste the ifcfg-eth[0,1] configuration files (they are in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/).
