Why your ifconfig wasn't working
Authored by: dfbills on Sep 27, '02 12:52:36AM

I'm having trouble figuring out exactly how to use Multiple Network Interfaces with Multiple Networks.

What I have:

Ethernet Interface to Cable Modem (public internet namespace)
Dialup Interface to Corporate Network (private intranet namespace)

I can get each to work individually, but when both interfaces are active, only the top one in the network interfaces panel is working.

Is it possible to get these both working simultaneously? How do I know what netmasks to use? (I'm guessing this is the issue.)

I had no problems getting this to work EVEN with the wrong netmask. Do you have a firewall in place blocking your new ip?
