Network is unreachable

[Jorge E Castro]

What about when this happens on a system with two network cards and I'm trying to configure the second one. All the gateways and everything else for the first card work just fine, so I don't need to change anything but add the second card to a private internal network where only our Unix machines are connected. Your help will be appreciated!

Thanks

If your first Lan card is working fine and you want to configure your 2nd card....Follow this procedure.

1. Ensure your lan card driver is loaded ( You can confirm with ioscan and lanscan )
2. ifconfig lanx nn.nn.nn.nn netmask mm.mm.mm.mm up
here x is the lan card number. n is IP address m is your netmask
3. Makesure your routing table updated properly
You can do that by netstat -nr
4. You can update your /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file with the same information so that it will configure your network card even after the reboot.

Hope it helps...
