No connection via second NIC
Posted: 23 Dec 2013 09:20
checked this forum, but couldn't find a response, so opening this thread ... apologies if repost ...
Here's my situation:
I have a motherboard with a 100 Mb NIC onboard. As my network infrastructure is all 1 Gb I most certainly want my NAS4Free server to work at same speed. So I added a 1Gb NIC, reinstalled NAS4Free image (rev. 847 and some 5xx, too).
The second NIC shows up as a second or third adapter in ifconfig. First adapter (which in all cases seems to be the onboard NIC) works fine. But whenever I select any other NIC through either console option 1 or via WebGUI, I don't get a network connection.
During boot it would show the second adapter to have link, but when it tries to get a connection via ICMP it times out resulting in incapabality to reach out ot my network ...
I tried this with several computers with different kinds of additional NICs/onboard NIC combinations, so doesn't seem to be hardware specific.
Any ideas?
thx
Peter
