;-)
yeah, I checked it:

eth0     192.168.100.1
eth0:1   192.168.100.5
eth1     192.168.40.1

Even if I shutdown eth1, this machine is not reachable :-(

well, sorry, was a typo. inside /etc/modules.conf is:

alias eth1 rtl8139


any other idea?

maybe it has something to do with another problem?
If I do not use a direct x-cable to connect to
this machine, the realtek card also does not respond
and gets unreachable.
Only when I use a x-cable the adaptor will work.
And again, If the card will not work, I receive
no messages.
But in syslog I see, that the card is only in
half-duplex mode. This happens only, if I do not
use a x-cable und plug the machine into a hub.


thanx in advance
