Gretting all,=20
  Two wierd problems that I am having with my Compaq DL380s.  I have =
three, all of which were running Redhat Linux 7.0, but I upgraded them =
to the 2.4.0 and then to the 2.4.1 kernel.   All three have dual Intel =
EtherExpress Pro 100 PCI card on them.  One is the one that comes with =
the Compaq box ( on-board), the other is one that we added from Compaq =
later.  The first problem is that due to a miscommunication I mistakenly =
brought both NICs up on all the machines thinking that the second =
interface had a live network connection.  It turns out that the second =
card on all three Compaq was not plugged in, but I could not tell =
because I could ping both IP addresses on both machines on either =
interface.   My secondary problem though is of more importance.  Even =
though we are forcing traffic through the second interface I am seeing =
no increase in statistics for that interface in ifconfig.  I would =
appreciate any diagnostics or info that would be helpful in approaching =
this problem.   Michael Sox
