Red Hat 9 Dual Ethernet Problems?

nightfox
Hello,

A while ago before I installed Fedora Core 5, I tried installing Red Hat Linux 9 on the following system:
-Intel Pentium III 900 MHz CPU
-512 RAM
-Dual Ethernet (10/100)

However, during installation, the Ethernet cards were never found so I couldn't get online.

Now, I'm installing Red Hat 9 on this (much) older computer, Pentium II and I don't remember the CPU speed, 128 RAM (I think) and this time during install, Red Hat found the Ethernet. This system has an 3Com card that was taken out of my other system.

I was just wondering if Red Hat had any issues with dual Ethernet from different providers. I forget what card is in this machine.

since you're running an old Linux distribution, there are only 2 ways to fix it:
1) Check if the manufacturer has drivers to download.
2) If not, you need to use Fedora Core or RHEL.

Hope this helps!

Ah, well, never really use dual Ethernet anyways. When Windows was on this machine, I just used one for web server requests and another for FTP. Until I switched this machine over to Linux. I just never pulled the other card out. All my other distros (except SuSE) were fine with the dual card setup except Red Hat. I was just wondering if there was some sort of compatability issue or something. Thanks!

    Hey guys, I just reinstalled my server with FC4. VSFTPD is enabled on it. When I try to connect to
    it from my windows system using FileZilla - it connects fine, i.e. VSFTPD accepts the login/pass and
    shows the welcome message too. Then comes the problem - when it issues a LIST command and tries to
    show me the default directory it gets stuck for a good while and then times out. This is happening
    for ANY and EVERY directory. At first I thought it must be something to do with the chmodding - so I
    tried all the modes +777, +755 etc.. but no avail. Same result in all cases.....

    good driver support for linux. Anyway, I have Ati's drivers installed, not the ones that came
