How to get my 2 ethernet cards to work

This is really tricky that I spent days without a correct solution, so
I come to you for help.

I have two network/ethernet cards. One is for my home network with
static ip (eth0), another is to the DHCP cable modem (eth1). The
version of Linux is Mandrake 10, kernel: 2.6.3-4mdkenterprise.

I also get "failed" when start up the computer on both of my network
cards, but I can get into the internet normally. Strange!

I cannot ping my home ip which is: 192.168.10.1 from a same machine
(it waits forever).

I can get to the internet (eth1). However, with command: "service
network restart"
Output: failed on the eth1 and success on the eth0. I cannot get into
the internet anymore, but then I can ping 192.168.10.1. Somehow my
two cards are in conflict with each other. Next, I remove the eth1,
then add it back again (using the graphical interface). Next, I log
out and in. Now, I can ping both IP addresses of the machine from the
same machine, but cannot ping to the public internet, or get onto the
internet. However, loggin in, running any GUI apps would take
forever. Restart the machine, and I loose this current settings, and
it goes back to the begining (cannot ping the home-networking/static
ip), and the internet works. Also, there are many errors showing up
during the restart of the machine.

I add a route to my iptable:

route add -host 192.168.10.1 dev eth0
Output: "SIOCADDRT: No such device" error

If I do: route add -host 192.168.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0
Output: "route: netmask 000000ff doesn't make sense with host route"

If I do: route add -net 192.168.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0
Output: "route: netmask doesn't match route address"

Here is the settings under: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
For the eth0 device:

DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.10.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.10.0
BROADCAST=192.168.10.255
ONBOOT=yes
MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=no

For the eth1 device:
DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes

Here are some message from "dmesg":

Please give me some helps. Reading the How-Tos, and other tutorial,
but I just cannot get it to work.

I also remove all the configurations many times, and then add them
again (using Mandrake graphical tools and manually).

Thank you very much for your consideration.

This is not clear. A cable modem is not exactly the same thing as an
ethernet card. If you have a cable modem that connects to an ethernet
card on your computer, then I understand that, but the connection is
the wrong way round - usually eth0 will be to the internet, and eth1 to
the intranet. Swap your cables.

Then you had better fix that! Without drivers they are not going to
work.

Don't be silly. Do you also say "strange" when you walk into your hose
and find that the dining room suite has gone? I would say "something is
deeply wrong here and I need to fix it before taking a single step
further".

It's supposed to wait forever. What makes you think that is your IP?
SHow the output of

/sbin/ifconfig

and then we can judge.

I don't understand what you mean. Please be precise: command line and
error message, test and observation. Nothing else.

Meaningless - why should we be interested in this number? You present
no evidence to suggest we should. It could be anything.

That's fine. Keep things like that.

No, do not use a "graphical interface". Remove means "take out using
screwdriver".

That's all fine. But stop making us guess. Just show the output from
/sbin/ifconfig and /sbin/route. There is no need to make so much fuss!

Well that's because you have messed up your networking. Your host name
does not resolve.

Good.

Show us some data.

FIne - but this merely shows you that eth0 is not up. No driver. Why
are you doing all this blind?

Indeed it doesn't. Stop using "-host".

OK - well this has been configured correctly, but it is not connected
to a line on which any packets have been seen. I would open the netmask
to /16 instead of /24, since I find it unlikely that 192.168.10. is
really a network of yours or your providers. Anyway, there should be
some broadcast packets going by! A session with tcpdump -i eth0
would show you.

I might suspect the IP addresses are on the wrong cards.

This one is fine, and is both transmitting and receiving like crazy.
Oh - but its broadcast address is crazy. Fix! Is this the internet
side?

If so, it's fine. If it's your intranet side, I don't see why you
bothered to hide the addresses. Are you sure this is the internet side?
With that much activity, it looks a lot more like there are many other
computers on that lan, which sounds more like your home lan than the
router.

See? 45MB have gone by your eyes on that lan! Looks like the intranet
side to me! But how did you get them seen?
Oh well.

yes, well your default route is on the wrong interface, if eth1 is the
internet side! That's silly. Fix.

Eh? Fix. That'll wreck the file. You want the internet IP binding
there.

> 192.168.10.1 comp1.mynet.com comp1

No no. It's good that you have an entry for your intranet NIC, but it's
not necessary since you have a fixed internet connection to which you
can bind the hostname. Leave this out unless you are planning on having
this as the permament binding (fine by me!).

Well, stop messing up.

Well, don't! Don't use such things.

This is an indication of an error in your setup. There should be some
error message in /var/log/messages, or dmesg.

I assume you mean "from the machine itself". This is simply a
consequence of the "failed" message on both NICs during startup.

> I can get to the internet (eth1).

Then there must be some process later in the startup that is repairing
eth1's setup.

So this causes eth1 startup to fail, but it succeeds on eth0.

Something is wrong with the configuration files for eth1 and probably
for eth0 also.

Why is your system trying IPv6? Is this a standard part of Mandrake's
setup, or is this something that you configured. If you can turn it
off, since you don't have any IPv6, you should turn it off.

I understand that you're not showing the IP address because of
security, but, if it's 192.168.10.x, that'll be a problem. What
kind of addresses does the DHCP server in the network assign?
They must not be in the same subnet as your eth0 IP.

The second line of the hosts file is not formatted correctly.
You should remove it.

Does this allow you to turn off IPv6?

You've already done that. This teaches them something else.

I can agree that it is useful as shorthand for the end result.
Not many people carry message ids in their head to make the shorthand _useful_.

I use the longhand to make the newbie aware of
http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search
and any newbie lurkers also learn about the link.

If you were to keep track of my posts or plug Bit Twister in the
Author box in the link and read most of my post, you might see that I
try to teach the newbie how to fish instead feeding him the fish.

For this thread, it was easier to throw the fish on the bank and let
him cook and eat it.

Thank you for helping me out. Let me try to explain abit better this
time:

I have 2 computers. One is the main machine, has 2 nics. One nic
connects to a cable modem, which connects to the internet. This one
use DHCP. The nic is a built-in intel chipset with the motherboard.

The 2nd nic connects to a crossover cable to my 2nd computer. After
this works, I intent to make my main computer share the internet to my
2nd computer.

With regard to the eth0, eth1, I have thought of that, but questioning
that with the almighty Linux, known to be a network OS, how could it
restrict so strictly on which one goes to the private network, and
which goes to the public network.

To make sure, the eth0 binds to the static ip address, connects to the
crossover cable to my 2nd computer. eth1 connects to the cable modem.
Individually, I was able to surf the internet with eth1, and ping the
eth0 using my 2nd computer.

You're right. I spends hours to fix this first, but don't know where
to start. I installed linux on 3 machines before with network cards.
They all said failed when the system starts up, but works in a sense
that I could get to the internet and everything. This does not
justify anything, just let you know that I tried to work on it too.

I am sorry, the 192.168.10.1 is the static IP I configured for eth0.

the command I used: service network restart<enter>
The output: the first couple lines are [ok] (sorry, I don't have the
machine with me here, I'll update that if you need). But the last 2
lines, about eth0 and eth1, it says: [ok] and [failed] respectively.

Using single card, I can get to the internet, or the local network
(along with the "FAILED" when computer start up), but what I want is
to use 2 cards as described in the beginning of this post.

I did not ping or do anyting from my 2nd computer, so there should not
be any data here (at this time). I did ping before (on other machine
restart), but the ping failed.

Yes, eth1 is the internet side. I hide the address because I am
newbie in this area, and I don't know if any misconfiguration would
let me machine opened for attach. Please forgive me on this.

Yes, I am sure. I check this more than 10 times.

the 45MB is the amount of search that I tried to find a solution to
this. As I have said, the internet side work except the "FAILED"
status when the computer start up on the (from all those scrolling
lines). If I issues "service network restart", then it stops working,
then I have to remove and add a new connection for this again (set it
up again).

Could you please tell me which flag defines the "default" route? How
do I fix this?

The No Ip lines was added by the Mandrake's GUI tools. I am not sure
how to fix this. Do I just delete the line? Note that this is DHCP,
which means I don't have a fixed IP address to put here.

Huh?!

The syntax is VERY useful, because once you've located a post using the Advanced
Search, you can share it with others so that THEY don't have to go through the
same rigamarole.

And/or save the Message-ID in a file for your OWN future reference, with a
little note.

Or if you see a post, or create one, that you may want to refer back to later,
you can do the same thing.
