Your private Lan IP address ranges are correct, each LAN circuit using an separate subnet. So lets start with the most obvious first. Check rc.conf to verify you do not have typing error on ifconfig statement for each LAN Nic card to assign it's IP address. FBSD does not syntax check rc.conf statements, so you may have the statement there but just typed incorrectly. With that size private LAN you must be using DHCP, so check the dhcpd.conf file that you have correctly defined each separate LAN IP address range for each of the 3 circuits. Next check your IPFW rules that you allow each LAN NIC interface free and un-molested by-directional access. They should by just like what you are doing for lo0. If all that checks out then it's time to boot from the GENERIC.kernel to remove IPFW and see if it works. IPFW is the most likely problem and testing without it is the sure way to locate problem to single component. If you still have problems post the complete content of rc.conf, dhcpd.conf, and ipfw rule set. Also descript how you test to verify one Nic card is not working. I would like to say you should not be using 5.2 for production, it's an dirty development release which uses an completely new file system which has multiple reports of getting in an lockout condition where the only solution is to reboot. The software firewall ipfw FBSD 4.x and ipfw2 FBSD 5.x series have an long time legacy problem when you use stateful rules and it's divert/nated userland subroutine. It just does not work. If you are using IPFW with out stateful rules you do not have the MAX in firewall protection. IPFILTER (IPF) has stateful rules which function as documented with ipnat, it's NAT program. There is an alternative solution, to IPFW dummynet traffic shaper facility for controlling bandwidth usage. It's an stand-a-lone software application called altq. See the following links for details. http://www.rofug.ro/projects/freebsd-altq/ http://www.csl.sony.co.jp/person/kjc/kjc/software.html#ALTQ Good luck -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Sjaak Nabuurs Sent: Thursday, January 29, 2004 10:41 AM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: FreeBDS don't accept 4 networkcards > Your post is too general. > You have to post details of what you are doing. > Saying 4 Nics means nothing. > Where are they and what are their purpose? Sorry try again I have a FreeBSD box 5.2 release with 4 NIC's realtec ethernet cards in one box For routing traffic to 4 different networks. 1 DSL line and 3 wireless router network 192.168.1.xx 192.168.2.xx and 192.168.3.xx so I have 4 network card in my freeBSD box But the problem is that freeBSD recognize only 3 network cards at startup.. Before I had linux running in this box and everything works verywell. But I like to use FreeBSD & dummynet to shappe traffic.
