I am bascially having the same problem as: "Problem Report i386/35726". Here is the problem in a nutshell. I practice this setup frequently: Clean installed 4.7 release. Two nic card configuration. Tried on two machines both with different cards same problem. drivers used on box1 = fxp drivers used on box2 = xl Manually set... box1 card 1 = 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 with auto generated boradcast. box1 card 2 = 10.0.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 with auto generated broadcast. Card two never gets an IP bound to it. Same issue with machine 2's second card. Ruled out hardware problem: Swapped cards to different slots, different machines....blah blah blah. So I decide to configure the card via ifconfig: ifconfig 10.0.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 and got error: ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists Hmmm seen this before in broadcast address conflicts using alaises, so I try... ifconfig 10.8.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 Now it works...I can ping the card. I use the exact configuration on 4.6 and below, no problems. For now I am going back to 4.6 release. Seems like 4.7 has an issue with configuring systems with more than one nic card. I am not a newbie ...checked all the obvious things.
