I am trying to install a 2nd NIC in my FreeBSD machine. It is a 3Com card on isa and comes up as ep1. Everything seems to be detected fine on boot. It is listed by ifconfig -a and I have been able to assign it an IP number. However it won't ping! The original card (same make, comes up as ep0) pings quite happily, but the new card just sits there and then I get "The Host is Down" messages. I know the card is operational as it works fine on its own in another machine. What is going wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated. ------_=_NextPart_001_01C08AC8.40607C32 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1"
