I am attempting to set up a 2nd ethernet card on an Ultra1. I had to replace a crashed drive and now i am having problems configuring the second ethernet for the Dept. network. i have already vi'd the defaultrouter, host, & network files and ran /var/yp...make. when i ran /usr/sbin/ifconfig -a the hme0 & hme1 show up but the inet, netmask and broadcast are not assigned on hme1. i need to change the inet, netmask and broadcast on both cards. any sugestions? also in the process of getting the card configured I removed it from the system and then reinstalled it. now hme1 is not recognized. I have a feeling the card may be hosed.

To enable hme1:
ifconfig hme1 plumb

for ip addrs etc
ifconfig hme1 ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.0
see man ifconfig for details.

Don't forget to use :

#ifconfig hme1 up

to activate the NIC. When you use ifconfig -a you will see "UP" for all active NICs.
