Hello!! I have a machine with dual boot Windows NT and Red Hat Linux 7.1 on it. I have one NIC card working on it and connected to Internet. I want to add another NIC card to this machine because I want to use it as a proxy server, one NIC talking to Internet and another talking to the machine on the interior. The NIC card currently in use is the 3 Com Etherlink 10/100 PCINIC(3C905C-TX) . I have an Intel EtherExpress PRO/100 NIC. Which NIC card should I use as a second one? Will Linux automatically detect it ? What IP address should I assign it while configuring? Currently my IP address is 138.26.80.9 and gateway is 138.26.1.1. I hope I have explained my problem well. Please respond if someone knows how it is done. Thanks in advance Jim
