Do I have to do something extra when I have 2 lan cards...
I want my PC connect to another.
I did was using a 3com XL on the vswitch (VPC) and the vswitch on tcp/ip and netbui .
So I added an extra card to connect only to tcp/ip and I changed the numbers of the perivious tcp/ip..
It did work.. (I could go on the internet with my new card) but only once....
Now it won't work anymore after I updated the ibmlan.ini
After boot on the desktop it says there is no tcp/ip..
I tried several confiigurations but it only keeps working now with one lan card..
I did fill in the mac adresses..
Chris.

Ok.. I'm realy stupid.. last night I was thinking about your remark and I saw the light.. probably:-))
I configured the whole thing with MPTN and completely forgot about the tcp/ip config... so I did not give an IP to the second LAN..
Yeah.. its a different program.. althogh the MPTN mention it clearlly and it has the tcp/ip config disabled... (actually maybe they should not have.. to link it to the real tcp/ip config would be better:-) )..
Because it was working.. more or less.. I did have internet.. I got completely on the wrong foot.. and searched in the wrong place... while its so simple and obvious... and I did not realy needed (tested) the other LAN.. I still have to assemble the other PC.... ..
Still its weird it only worked once and I could never get it back.. even with the same configuration? at what it worked only the first time... it did make me a lot of problems:-)).. the internet should not have worked maybe?...
OK.. I will try it all again (when I found the common IP numbers for small network.. I'm not sure but I thought its in the 126.x.x.x or 226.x.x.x range?? )
(Well its easy to find.....))

Thanks anyhow.... Chris..
