I have linux server connected to LAN, now I want to add second NIC on the linux server and connect to another PC via dedicated line, how can I do this? I use Redhat.
Thanks.
Use crossover cable and you can connect the NIC's directly together, you should be able to use ifconfig eth1 on the linux machine to configure TCP/IP properties, and its in the network properties for the ethernet adapter on the win machine and is a bit different for win95/98/me versus win2000/XP versus NT so you will have to find that out yourself. Just make sure that you assign them on the same subnet otherwise they wont communicate with eachother.
ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.200 netmask 255.255.255.3 as an example.
