Internal Interface

[slamMan]

When I installed MCE it only had 1 interface card. ETH0. I have added a second card for the internal network. Kubuntu shows 2 cards ETH0 and ETH2. However; LinuxMCE only shows ETHO and ETH0:0 both of which have the same mac address per the view IP address from Launch Manager.

Here is the info from Advanced=>Network=>Network Settings

Number of network adapters: 2

Your core has the following network adapters:
1. External network card eth0

Use a static IP address
     Core's IP address:    ...
     Subnet mask:    ...
     Gateway:    ...
     Nameserver (DNS) #1:    ...
     Nameserver (DNS) #2:    ...
2. Internal network card eth0:0
     IP address:    ...
     Subnet mask:    ...

Here is IFCONFIG:

Can anyone suggest how to get MCE to identify the second card and use DHCP server on it? Do I have to reinstall?

Try searching the forum for eth0:0.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I thought I had searched for everything and wasn't getting anything relevant. One more question, where is this menu from one of your posts?

So now I found and changed "Device data/Network Interfaces",

[slamMan]

Ok, I think I found what you were talking about (actually I found another of your posts where you explain it more in detail.) I will give it a try.

That appears to have done the trick. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

I'm also trying to change my network settings to use two cards. I did the same actions as it's described in the wiki - http://wiki.linuxmce.com/index.php/Single_to_Double_NIC. But the system doesn't use the second interface because instead of eth1 it's displayed as eth2 in the network setup GUI utility. As result those messages:

Code:

eth1: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
eth1: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
eth1: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
Failed to bring up eth1.

Any idea how to fix that?

Thanks in advance.

You'll probably need to edit the /etc/iftab file as well.  That file ties the NICs specific MAC to a device, aparently eth2 in your case.  Alternatively I guess you could replace "eth1" with "eth2" in the wiki instructions.
