Hi again Robert. Gedit shows /etc/network/interfaces content that I do
not understand :
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
Could that cause eth0 to prevent eth1 from connecting?
and also /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules contains:
# PCI device 0x10ec:0x8168 (r8169)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*",
ATTR{address}=="10:c3:7b:6a:c5:ea", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0",
ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"
# USB device 0x:0x (cdc_ether)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*",
ATTR{address}=="3c:1e:04:96:54:05", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0",
ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1"
So I see eth0 is a PCI device (was the ADSL router) and eth1 is a USB
device (the wireless router I am using now)
Thanks for showing me the basics again.
