Having recently installed Linux onto a Dell 1600SC server, I have a niggling
problem.
The server contains an embedded Gigabit ethernet card, and when I went to
use that, I couldn't get it to work. Linux picks it up as eth0 but it
refused to allow anyone access the server. So, I put the card from the
previous server (a 10/100MB) into the server and deleted the reference to
the card. Everything was fine. The card is designated eth1 by Linux.
Anyway, I had occasion to reboot the server today and it found the Gigabit
card and installed it as eth0 again. Network failed to allow anyone to log
on.
It seems that if I have the Dell card installed, the network won't function,
and if I delete it, everything is fine.
Is there a way around this? I guess the obvious thing would be to get the
Dell card operating.
Any advice?
Mike
