Hi,

i have a little problem with my server.
It has 2 netcards,

eth0 -> Cogent EM110 / DC21140
eth1 -> DEC DE450TA / DC21041

eth0 is connected to my internal network,
eth1 is connected to my dialup-server via crossover link.

Everything works well with the old Installation(kernel 2.0.35/suse 5.3)
Driver is 
tulip.c:v0.89H 5/23/98 becker@cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov
Now i´ve installed a new system(suse6.4/kernel2.2.14) on the
second disk.
I configured the network in the same way like my old system,
but eth1 does not work.
I can not reach the dialup server from the server and i cannot
reach the server from the dialup server.
Strange,it´s the same host !

Is it the driver or the kernel ?

and here some output from the old installation :

/etc/conf.modules
