Hi i'm trying to install three ethernet cards on one of my pc that is running linux. One of the ethernet cards is an onboard card. The other two are pci 3com, and a Dec card. What i want to do is have the ethernet card(eth0) connect to the internet and the other two (eth1,eth2) connected to two seperate pc's via a cross patch cable. I want eth0 to be dhcp and eth1 and eth2 to be static ip. I know that this is alot of info, but can anyone please help me out. Thank you. btw: the os i'm running is Red Hat Advanced server 2.1

You should be able to setup all of that by simply editing your interfaces file. As a superuser (either via the "su" command, or by logging in as root) edit your interfaces file and add entries for each card something like: auto eth0 eth1 eth2 iface eth0 inet dhcp iface eth1 inet static         address 192.168.0.10         netmask 255.255.255.0 iface eth2 inet static         address 192.168.0.11         netmask 255.255.255.0 my interfaces file is /etc/network/interfaces - yours may or may not have the same path under Redhat - "man interfaces" for more information.

I'm sorry but I can't find that file no where in Red Hat Advanced server 2.1. Can someone please tell me where it is located thanks.

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth* are the files you need to edit.
