Guest sxxl Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 Hi everyone, I've installed Mandrake 9 on my Computer. I've to route between an ADSL-Connection and the local network. The problem: I havn't enough free PCI-slots for a second network card. With the Mandrake-controll-center ist isn't possible to configure this. Any ideas, how and where I could get running this?

DragonMage Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 Well, as far as I know I can only suggest two things. 1. Buy a USB to Ethernet adaptor. Some of the models are supported in linux (Check http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdevcat.php?id=16) to see the models supported. It maybe a bit more expensive than a typical pci network card, but hey... if it works. 2. There is a way for a single NIC card to have two IP address, but I am not sure how.. It probably involve recompiling the kernel and such. Even it works, how do you going to route the ADSL connection to your network considering the cabling involved?.

Guest fil Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 You can configure your network card to have 2 or more IP, it's called IPALIASING have a see at http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Net-HOWTO/x1227.html and http://www.ibiblio.org/mdw/HOWTO/mini/IP-Alias/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
