Hi, folks!

     I finally discovered the cause of my problem (after a few days =
trying), and I would like to say that it has nothing to do with I could =
imagine to be:
     I just disabled the option "Plug And Play OS Aware" at BIOS setup =
and everything works fine!
     Many thanks to all the people who tried to help me, you're pretty =
cool.

  I am not sure,  but I supouse you installed the  RedHat as a =
workstation  (gnome o KDE). You need install it as a Server.=20

    Hi, folks!  =20
         I'm a network administrator typing from Brazil and I'm facing a =
crazy problem with Red Hat 6.2.=20
         I installed two ethernet cards (already tried a lot of models =
of 3Com (905b, 905c, 980) and also Realtek (8129, 8139)) on a =
PIII-1.13GHz, and the situation is the following: - The cards doesn't =
work if both are enable, but if I disabled (ifdown) one, the other =
begins to respond to ping;=20
    - I'm using static IPs on both interfaces (eth0 is 200.251.242.1 and =
eth1 is 10.0.0.1);=20
    - Ifconfig detects both (eth0 and eth1) at irq10 and irq11, =
respectively;=20
    - I tried to swap the cards to different slot positions to avoid =
conflicts, but fails;=20
    - There's no conflict between the cards, cause I tried to install =
other versions of Red Hat (7.2, 7.3) and the machine works well;=20
    - I tried to compile the driver sources into the kernel instead of =
modules, but anyway without success;=20
    - I also tried to upgrade the original kernel (2.2.14-5.0) to the =
newer version (2.4.20). Guess what? Same problem;=20
    - At last, I tried to do all these things in a complete differente =
machine expecting hardware incompatibilities... Same situation;      Has =
anybody experienced similar problems using two ethernet cards with Red =
Hat 6.2? Am I doing something stupid? Is there some secret in this =
version that I don't know?=20
         I would like to justify that I need too much that this thing =
works because I have an outdated commercial software that runs well just =
on Red Hat 6.2.      Please, somebody help me! I would be greatly =
thankful.=20
         Happy new year! PS: Sorry about my poor english :-)  =20
