Help setting up 2 NIC's in linux : slackware 8

[BullsOnParade_]

I'm trying to eventually setup a linux proxy box that i'm going to send my windows box through, however I can't get slack to recognize both nic's. It does recognize both nic's individually. I've tried editing some of the module scripts but get nothing, and i'm not sure what to do with the alias command especially when i get the device eth1 not found error.

thanks for any help.

simple answer is usualy

- load the driver for each card (usualy a line in rc.modules, most cards already there for you, just unccmment them)

- ifconfig up the interface (usually in your rc.inet1)

are they both the exact same card? I've never dealt with that, mabey you have to do the modprobe twice?

here's my inet1

# Attach the loopback device.
/sbin/ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
/sbin/route add -net 127.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 lo

# Token Ring
/sbin/ifconfig tr0 148.100.205.53 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 148.100.205.255
/sbin/route add default gw 148.100.205.1

# Ethernet Card
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 10.10.42.1 netmask 255.255.0.0 broadcast 10.10.255.255
