hi,

i'm trying to install a second network card on a freebsd box and connect another
freebsd pc on this second card.. [well, actually we have a NAT network here and
we're trying to setup a second NAT network within]..

Sadly enough, it doesn't seem to work. I can ping both card-ip's on this pc, but
the connected pc doesn't see it (when i ping, i get "host is down")..

I thought I'd check the cards with ifconfig. 
ifconfig gives the first card as "active" and the second card as "no carrier"
(?)...

Does anybody have any suggestions??

thanks,
dimitri & paisios
