Hi, I have a Compaq Proliant 3000 server with a fresh install of FreeBSD 5.2.1 on it. It has an Intel Dual-port NIC (of which I'm using one port), and a Netgear GA620 Gigabit fiber card. The copper port is referred to as fxp0 and the fiber, ti0. I'm having a problem getting the two network connections to work together with the same network address. My private subnet is 10.100.100/24, though if I try to set two adapters each with their own IP but on the same network, I get "File already exists" or something to that effect. The default route to my m0n0wall box is set through fxp0, and I can get ti0 to work if I set the network addr to 255.255.255.255, but then if my copper interface goes down (using "ifconfig fxp0 down" as test), the fiber interface will not then connect. My basic question is...how do I get two independent cards to have their own IP address on the same network address? Thanks in advance for assistance. =20 Trevor B.
