I'm yet unable to connect to the internet using a cable modem with a static ip. I have checked some things I found going through older topics and I saw some strange things. I hope you can clearify this.
setup:
eth0 is a 3com 3c905c
eth1 is a 3com 3c590x
check1.
ping the outside world to my isp's gateway and
www.yahoo.com worked fine. I have connection.
check2.
when I looked in /ect/modules.conf is saw:
alias eth0 3c59x (ok)
alias eth1 3c90x (ok)
alias eth2 3c59x (NOT OK!), where does this come from. I don't have a third nic in the machine. Can I throw this out without problems?
test3.
when I do /sbin/lsmod it says:
module size used by
3c90x 22240 2
so, the 3c90x is loaded twice and no sign of the 3c59x
Can someone explain this please? Thanks.
