Duel network card questions

Ok I see loads of new motherboards with this config. Dule network cards or Shotgun Network config. What are the Pros of this? I cant find any info on this. If this is good for network traffic then I will pop my other Network card into my K8N neo Plat. SO anyone have any info on this?

Alex,
I have a son in Brazil in Sao Paulo and one headed further north. Both are Mac Gurus from age ten.
Here is the Apple link that identifies the location of an airport card if you have one:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1305?viewlocale=en_US
If you go to the Apple menu and select "About this Mac," then select "more info" you will find information about your hardware. Look under Network/airport card. That will also tell you what is installed without opening the cover to your mac.
Jim~
PS, if you do not have a card, make sure you buy the right one. Early models take one type in one location. Here is a video of the location of the later model.

Multiple Network Card Question

I've got a Pc which has both a ethernet card and a wireless dongle used at different times.
In the setup for the 2Wire.com router I get the PC name listed twice ,once for each network card, understanable in a way I suppose as they have different identities on the LAN. But, when I'm making settings for the PC in the setup, I don't know which one I'm making the setting for - the PC name is just listed. How should I be doing this?

Don't worry, I've re-posted this in the business forum, as I think that#s where it should be.

A question about Routers and network cards

I have a question, Can Hardware confict with internet speed problems with the routers like one having a gigabit etherenet network card and 1/100 intel etherent card?

Ethernet components are generally compatible across brand names, and speeds. So you can connect gigabit cards to 10/100 networks. You can connect 10/100 cards to gigabit networks.
When you mix speeds, you will be limited to the fastest speed that all components can do, so if you connect a gigabit card to a 10/100 network, you will be limited to a 100 Mbps connection.

RE: Is there a way to have 2 network cards on the samemachine

Sean,
I mean I am always connecting to the nodemgr of the 2nd environment
successfully. Only when I run the client part of the application that I know
is up, I get a response from the Name Server that it is actually the first
IP address.
I checked again. I defenitely have FORTE_NS_ADDRESS set to IP:5004, in my
case, and not the hostname. I don't have FORTE_LOCATIONS set any where. the
NS_ADDRESS for env2 has only 1 IP address associated with it. My Forte
Control Panel on the client, and hence the NS address has only one entry.
I tried going into escript like you said, and the name service still thinks
it is IP1.

Hmmmm? That is a little odd! Let me rehash what I think you are saying.
You now have two environments each with their own name service with
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS set to a different IP:Port combination. For example you
are doing the steps:
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS=255.255.255.1:5000
start the nodemgr for env 1
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS=255.255.255.2:5000
start the nodemgr for env 2
Now when you start a client you are always getting the address for env 1
back from the nodemgr. I assume you actually mean the name service? Or, do
you mean you are always connecting to the nodemgr & name service for env
1?
If the first scenario is the case and you are connecting to the nodemgr
for
env 2 but getting back IP's for services listening on the card for env 1 I
would ask you what you are setting the FORTE_LOCATIONS value to before you
start each service. If you are not setting it or are using the host name
it
will register using the IP for the primary network card associated with
the
machine name and I am again assuming that this is env 1. You need to set
the FORTE_LOCATIONS variable to 255.255.255.2:0 (based on the steps above)
before starting your services.
If the second scenario is the case I would have you check what the
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS is set to before you start up the client. Once again it
must be the IP:Port combination not host:port combination if you want to
get
anything other than the primary card.
I would also suggest that you do the following. After everything is up
and
running execute the following commands:
escript -fns "ip for env1":port
findsub nameservice
showpart
What you should see is everything currently registered under the name
service. It will have the name and any "locations" (IP and port) that it
is
registered as listening on. I would look for the nodemgr and see where it
has advertised itself. I would then look for any services you expect to
be
registered there and also verify where the have advertised themselves. If
there are multiple locations listed for any one service, the client will
use
the first one in the list.
Do the same for env 2.

Hello Venkat,
I probably should have mentioned this before. Your are correct. Forteis
doing a host lookup if you are providing a name for examplemachine1:5000.
You can bypass the host lookup by using the actual ip dot addressinstead
for example 255.255.255.255:5000. This way you are taking the name
service
out od the picture and Forte will use the address provided.

My requirement is that my second card serves as best case performance

the

Subject: RE: Is there a way to have 2 network cards on the same

OK, you ran into one of the issues. That is, if both addresses areknown
to
the client that is trying to contact the partition it will always usethe
first address in FORTE_LOCATIONS. This is because FORTE_LOCATIONS was
designed more as a failover mechanism. So it will always try the
first
address in the list and if it succeeds, there is no reason to move onto
the
second.
Now, the second issue is that there is currently a problem with theclient
failover to the secondary address in FORTE_LOCATIONS. If the firstentry
fails it is supposed to retry on the second entry. Instead, it
retries
the
first entry again. I know that Forte knows about this but I do nothave
a
bug number on it.
With that said, lets look at a possible solution for you. If the real
objective here is to have a back up network card available for fail
over
on
the same machine, or use one card to advertise outside your firewalland
one
to use inside, then you will have to contact Forte to determine whenthe
failover problem will be fixed. But, if the objective is to loadbalance
across the network cards you could have the environment manager listenon
both ports and then alternate your server partitions across both
cards.
For
example:
set FORTE_NS_ADDRESS=card1:5000;card2:5000 and then start up the
environment
manager
set FORTE_LOCATIONS=card1:0 (the 0 in the port causes the OS to pick a
port)
and start partition one
set FORTE_LOCATIONS=card2:0 and start partition two
and so on....
In this scenario the environment manager will be listening on bothcards
but
each server will be listening on only one of the two cards. So if a
request
comes in for partition1 it will go through card one and if it is for
partition two it will go through card two. You could assign your
partitions
to cards based on expected load.
Well, I am done. I hope this helps!

Subject: RE: Is there a way to have 2 network cards on the samemachine
Sean,
Thanks for your reply. I tried the approach. I was not very specificin
my
question. I do need the ability for server applications to listen and
server
on both the network cards.
I was succesfully able to make the nodemgr listen on both the cardsand
actually serve requests coming in from both the cards. But, followingyour
advise, I took a cautious step with FORTE_LOCATIONS. Here is what I
noticed.
I have an application that has 6 partitions in total. I used
FORTE_LOCATION
to make it listen on 1. Both the cards. 2. Swapped the IP addresses
for
both
cards for this application. 3. One card that I want it to listen on. I
tried
all approaches by exporting the locations variable for just this
application. The nodemgr recieves a request from this pc connected onthe
second card to talk to one of the partitions. The node mgr responds
with
a
proxy - with the ip address and socket number of the first card. The
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS variable looks like this:
IP1:5002;IP2:5002.
Is it possible atall to resolve my problem, without having a seperate
environment?
Thanks

Venkat,
Actually, it is possible for Forte to listen on more than one IP andport
combination. The first reply to your message was correct. If you
set
the
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS to contain multiple entries before starting the
name
service, it will advertise on both. For Forte servers you use the
FORTE_LOCATIONS env variable to get it to advertise on multipleip:port
combinations.
We were doing something very similar with another customer I was at
to
get
around a firewall. I will warn you that there are some issues with
FORTE_LOCATIONS that may keep that portion from working. However,
from
reading your note, it appears that all you need is for the nameservice
to
advertise and listen on multiple ports and that works fine. I justtested
it again for sanity sake and it worked. I ran my test on NT using
Forte
3G2.

Venkat,
Technically yes this is possible, though not in Forte. A nameserver
can
only listen on one port.
To implement this scheme you will have to write a proxy service (insome
language
including perhaps forte) which listens on the well-known port on the
second card, reads requests, then forwards them to the realnameservice
(wkp on the first card), and forwards replies back. This is not
trivial, but some firewall toolkit vendors supply stub code to write
application specific proxies.

Help with purchasing correct network card

Hi, I'm trying to set up a wireless network for a friend who has an IBook G3 purchased in December 2002 which I know makes it very old. I have a 802.11g wireless ADSL router successfully set up and the IBook can connect to the internet successfully through a standard network cable to the router.
I would like to connect to the router wirelessly so I would appreciate some guidance on the correct network card to buy for this model
IBook G3 PowerPC Model A1005 Mac OS X (10.2.x)

Welcome, Kosh-vorion
first check with the system profiler (Apple->"Abouth this Mac"->"more Info")then "network"->Airport card
whether there is already an airport card build in. if not, you need to buy it and install it; i don't know whether this is easy or not for an iBook to install. There is a manual here:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iBookG3_14inchUserGuideMultilingual.PDF
but i'm not sure whether it is exactly your model. (search the Apple supprt pages, if it isn't).
cost of the Airport card is something like 50 $.
If it is already installed, go to "system preferences"-> network and setup.
Post back, if you have more questions.
success,
Thomas

OK, you ran into one of the issues. That is, if both addresses areknown
to
the client that is trying to contact the partition it will always usethe
first address in FORTE_LOCATIONS. This is because FORTE_LOCATIONS was
designed more as a failover mechanism. So it will always try the first
address in the list and if it succeeds, there is no reason to move on to
the
second.
Now, the second issue is that there is currently a problem with theclient
failover to the secondary address in FORTE_LOCATIONS. If the firstentry
fails it is supposed to retry on the second entry. Instead, it retries
the
first entry again. I know that Forte knows about this but I do not havea
bug number on it.
With that said, lets look at a possible solution for you. If the real
objective here is to have a back up network card available for fail over
on
the same machine, or use one card to advertise outside your firewall and
one
to use inside, then you will have to contact Forte to determine when the
failover problem will be fixed. But, if the objective is to loadbalance
across the network cards you could have the environment manager listenon
both ports and then alternate your server partitions across both cards.
For
example:
set FORTE_NS_ADDRESS=card1:5000;card2:5000 and then start up the
environment
manager
set FORTE_LOCATIONS=card1:0 (the 0 in the port causes the OS to pick a
port)
and start partition one
set FORTE_LOCATIONS=card2:0 and start partition two
and so on....
In this scenario the environment manager will be listening on both cards
but
each server will be listening on only one of the two cards. So if a
request
comes in for partition1 it will go through card one and if it is for
partition two it will go through card two. You could assign your
partitions
to cards based on expected load.
Well, I am done. I hope this helps!

Sean,
Thanks for your reply. I tried the approach. I was not very specific in
my
question. I do need the ability for server applications to listen and
server
on both the network cards.
I was succesfully able to make the nodemgr listen on both the cards and
actually serve requests coming in from both the cards. But, followingyour
advise, I took a cautious step with FORTE_LOCATIONS. Here is what I
noticed.
I have an application that has 6 partitions in total. I used
FORTE_LOCATION
to make it listen on 1. Both the cards. 2. Swapped the IP addresses for
both
cards for this application. 3. One card that I want it to listen on. I
tried
all approaches by exporting the locations variable for just this
application. The nodemgr recieves a request from this pc connected onthe
second card to talk to one of the partitions. The node mgr responds witha
proxy - with the ip address and socket number of the first card. The
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS variable looks like this:
IP1:5002;IP2:5002.
Is it possible atall to resolve my problem, without having a seperate
environment?
Thanks

Venkat,
Actually, it is possible for Forte to listen on more than one IP andport
combination. The first reply to your message was correct. If you setthe
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS to contain multiple entries before starting the name
service, it will advertise on both. For Forte servers you use the
FORTE_LOCATIONS env variable to get it to advertise on multiple
ip:port
combinations.
We were doing something very similar with another customer I was at toget
around a firewall. I will warn you that there are some issues with
FORTE_LOCATIONS that may keep that portion from working. However,
from
reading your note, it appears that all you need is for the nameservice
to
advertise and listen on multiple ports and that works fine. I justtested
it again for sanity sake and it worked. I ran my test on NT using
Forte
3G2.

Venkat,
Technically yes this is possible, though not in Forte. A nameserver
can
only listen on one port.
To implement this scheme you will have to write a proxy service (insome
language
including perhaps forte) which listens on the well-known port on the
second card, reads requests, then forwards them to the realnameservice
(wkp on the first card), and forwards replies back. This is not
trivial, but some firewall toolkit vendors supply stub code to write
application specific proxies.

Can this be done? If so how?

2 network cards in Windows 8.1 but can't set the correct one to Private

Hi, I already asked this question in the community forum but was re-directed here as you guys know more about multiple network cards in Windows 8.
I'm using Windows 8.1 with 2 network cards. One for my internal LAN (will call this my secure LAN which has a static IP) and one for connection to the internet (Internet LAN which is DHCP). Both networks are totally physically seperate. This is for a combination
of speed and security purposes (lot of internet traffic on the internet LAN and I want that card locked down to prevent file sharing on it)
By default, both of the cards have their network properties set to public. To date I have not found any way to set the secure LAN card to private and the Internet card to public. If I enable file sharing in the private bit of "advanced settings" and
go to the Metro settings (whatever the fancy name is) under PC Settings/Network/Connections, there is only a generic "network" icon shown (rather than 2 netowrk icons, one for each card). When clicked, this correlates to the network card connected
to the internet. I can make this card public or private by changing the "Find devices and Content" switch on or off but this does not impact the card connected to the secure LAN. I tried disabling the Internet card and re running the setup (which
this time configured the secure LAN card) which I think did allow me to change it to private but as soon as the internet LAN card was re-enabled it reverted to that one being private and my secure LAN to public.
so - The config I am left with is the wrong way round (ie the internet card set to private and my private LAN card set to public!)
Similarly, I tried using regedit. In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Profiles\ <Profile ID> I can change the REG_DWORD to 1 or 0 but this only impacts the private / public settings of the card connected to the
internet.
I am guessing that Windows is kind of combining these 2 cards into 1 network profile and there is some priority thing going on that it gives priority to the card connected to the internet in terms of config?
Anyone got any ideas on how to force one card to private and the other to public?
Thanks Guys.
Al.

This is caused by the default security policy which blocks file sharing with unidentified networks by making them public. (How it determines unidentified networks is another interesting question). To allow file sharing, you have to change the local
security policy to allow unidentified networks to be private.

Switch to second network card

Hi
SBS 2011.
The dell server has two network cards and one is disabled. Now the active card seems to be causing issues. What are the steps to reliably switch to the second network card?
Thanks

Please Help!! Network Card Won't Detect Modem.. Advise about my options?

Thank you in advance for reading my post and for any help and advise..
I am on a friends computer because my Network Card went caput!.. now my computer can not detect my modem..
What happened?.. my surge protector did not protect my iMac during a thunder storm, and I have not been able to get online since.
I am almost sure now that my Network Card is the problem.. I have heard I will have to replace the entire board now! This could not have come at a worse time for me, so I am hoping and praying someone here will have a less expensive work around for me.
I am currently running a 700MHz G4 Flat Pannel with a DSL modem from Bell South. I was using my Ethernet input to get online, but, again, the modem can no longer be detected. This particular modem will not allow me to connect via USB either. If it did allow me to connect via USB, would that even work seeing how my network card is a wash?
Is there a way I can get another modem and use a USB or wireless something or the other to get my iMac back online without having to sell my arm and leg?
Sorry about the length of this post; I just want to make sure I cover as many bases as I can think of. Thank you again for any help; I really appreciate it! *april

BRAD!.. we are two ships sailing in the same mirky water; please somebody light a flair or something! =P
I always thought these things happened to 'other' people.. REALLY stinks to be us right now.
I have been doing some more reading.. my friend was nice enough to let me borrow his computer for a little bit. However, I still have not come across a definitive answer for a proven Internet access alternative.
So far, I have read about one other option that MAY work.. What I really need to know is.. with a corrupt Network Card, is it even POSSIBLE to get online by ANY other means? Or does having a corrupt Network Card mean that it destroys ANY other way to get online without having to replace the entire board? Is the Network Card what enables us to get online, or does the Network Card just allow us to connect to the Internet via Ethernet cable alone? I still have not found an answer to these questions.
That said, I mentioned reading about another Internet connection solution. This other option involves buying what is called a wireless router and a wireless AirPort card. I think they have to be installed inside the hard shell?? So with these parts and service, I believe we are still looking at a ballpark of US$200. I wish somebody could tell us, are there any other options?
On a side note, I have also learned that my particular 700 MHz iMac Flat Pannel will NOT take the wirelss AirPort EXTREME card; it will ONLY take the Original AirPort card, which, by the way, are more expensive and hard to find. Not too sure exactly what iMac Flat Pannel you have, Brad, but you should try to find out which one will work for your iMac. I don't know if I should trust eBay for used electronics, but it seems you can pick them up for a little less money than on any online websites. I saw some on a website called macofalltrades.com for about US$100.00; this website looks legit. I also tried Craigslist.ORG, and somebody was only selling an AirPort Extreme card, not the original... It may be worth looking on a near by big city local Craigslist though; make sure you click on the city nearest you.. The default craigslist.org is for San Francisco. I have heard a wireless router costs about US$40.00. However, I don't know exactly what a wireless router is or even what type I need to be looking for, what brand etc??
I need to know if I buy an AirPort card, will I also have to buy that AirPort Base thing as well?? All this information is becoming overwhelming. Could somebody please try to clairify? We would be eternally greatful! =)
Sorry about your computer, Brad; I know what you're going through. =(

Drivers for the sunfire v20z network card.

does any one know were i could find the drivers for the sunfire v20z network card. and does anyone know the chipset of the card?

That's a software question.
This is a hardware forum.
You didn't specify, but I'll presume you are not talking about any add-on card.
The necessary software packages for the onboard
broadcom BCM5703 gigabit (bge) circuitry are native to Solaris x86 (4/04 and newer).
Therefore they'll be on your OS installation CD's.
Just install the OS and rock-n-roll.

Replacement network cards for MacPro

My question is for anyone who is familiar with the MacPro motherboard. Lightning blew out my dual ethernet card and the estimate to replace it is around $450. A friend told me I could purchase a compatible network card and plug it directly into one of the three available slots on the mother board. If this is true, could anyone suggest to me a network card that is compatible with the MacPro motherboard? I would appreciate any help with this issue!

Are you considering any particular cards ?
I have had good luck with DEC21040 (10baseT) and DEC21140 (100baseT) cards
in Solaris 7 through Solaris 10 on x86.
The same can be said for 3Com 3C905C-TX cards.
Solaris 8x86 will recognize many chipsets natively,
and a number of third party developers have created working driver packages.
Most of their driver packages are free, but a few are not free.
Solaris 9 works with a few more, and Solaris 10 works with yet more adapters.
The Solaris 8x86 HCL list has the native cards.
This other Sun web page can direct you toward 3rd party sites.

Network card installation

I've tried installing 2 different network cards (Linksys TNE100TX; 3COM 3C509B Etherlink III). I think my problem is that I'm a novice user and don't know how to install a network card and assign an IP address. I've found the Linksys card on one HCL (although it's not listed in my Solaris 8 documentation on my disk), but can't find the 3COM card. Are either one of these cards compatible? Do I need drivers?
I'm on an Intel platform with Solaris 8. I am connected to a Linksys router (to share my DSL line). The router has a fixed IP address from PacBell, but uses 'DHCP' to assign IP addresses to my 3 computers.
How can I let my UNIX system know I'm using DHCP?
How do I assign the router IP address? Do I use the route add default command? Do I use the default gateway address or the router IP address for this?
Do I need a DNS/hosts table? Should I edit the /etc/nsswitch.conf file to add 'dns' to the 'hosts' line?
Do I need to edit the /etc/resolv.conf file, putting in my primary and secondary name servers (from Pac Bell)?
Also, on boot I get an error message: Can't register INT for PCIclass, 0C0300 device at IPL 1 because conflicts with IPL 14. Can you explain what this means and how to correct it?
As you can from my questions, I know some terminology (from my books), but don't really have a good grasp of what I am doing yet. I just started learning UNIX.
Thanks for any help you can give me on this.

Recently I have installed S10 b63 on a X86 PII machine.
Regarding the 3com nic - 3c905c - the installation and running with elxl driver was ok.
Now I want to change this nic for an other 3com nic -3c905, but encountered following problems:
When I put new nic in same pci slot and boot up solaris I get a row of errors and don't get trough the boot process.
-Errors are caused e.g. by the different MAC address of the NIC, and therefore no NIC is recognised at all.
-Boot hangs because a NSF request is made at boot, but is not rewarded as NIC is not active.
Changed my strategy to adding a second 3com NIC (both using the elxl driver) and followed the hints from Juergen Keil (above), but " ifconfig elxl1plumb " results in "no such interface"
I have looked on the web and in the documentation for a solution, but so far I have not found how to go about this, other that doing a complete new solaris installation.
Any help appriciated !

Don't inject the Windows 7 version of the driver into your WinPE image. Depending on what version of ADK you are using determines what version of the driver you will inject into WinPE. If you are using MDT 2013 with ADK 8.1 you are using WinPE 5.0/5.1
which is basically Windows 8.1. Make a selection profile explicitly for your WinPE drivers to inject. Only include the drivers you want in the WinPE image. And match the architecture of the network and storage drivers (Windows 8.1 versions).

Do I need to reinstall my network card drivers?

I just got off the phone with a second level tech from Adelphia. I called because webpages are taking a long time to load (among other things). All the tests he ran checked out fine. He said that I needed to contact Apple and have them help me uninstall and then reinstall my network card drivers.
Has anyone heard of this? If so, can someone step me through it? Thanks

PLEASE Help on two network cards in server

Hi all,
(Sorry my spelling Im danish)
We have a 10.4.5 server with 2 network cards in it. How does I get the server to route betwin the two networks so that mac's on net 1 (en0) can see mac's and printers on net 2 (en1) and visa versa
The mac's on net 1 can see and use the server (but not print on net 2) The mac's on net 2 cant see or use the server!
The mac's on net 1 get backuped by Retospect on the server. Retospect can't see the mac's on net 2
How does I get this to work?

"sudo sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1"
That will start forwariding immediately but woun't survive a reboot.
In Tiger Server Admin NAT setup you can make this permanent by choosing "start Ipforwarding Only".
(Or by adding a line to /etc/hostconfig:
IPFORWARDING=-YES-
Or by adding a new file /etc/sysctl.conf
with this line in it:
net.inet.ip.forwarding=1)
"Devices on each network need to know how to get to the other network, and that's usually done by editing the routing table on each system."
Not necessary. What's necessary is a static route in each Internet router that use the server IP for each LAN as the gateway/router for the other LAN.
Example network 1: 192.168.100.0/24
Internet router 192.168.100.1
Server IP for that LAN 192.168.100.254
Static route in Internet router: 192.168.200/24 gw 192.168.100.254
Example network 2: 192.168.200.0/24
Internet router 192.168.200.1
Server IP for that LAN 192.168.200.254
Static route in Internet router: 192.168.100/24 gw 192.168.200.254
"In addition it's not common for a printer to have an option to manipulate the route table in this way"
Correct, but you need to add the correct gw/router and netmask to the printer IP settings for this setup. This is sometimes achievable via Telneting to the printer in question to set it up (older Apple printers).
For performance reason it could be better using a static route in each machine if the internet router doesn't send out route redirect packets.
Some DHCP servers should be able to send out a static route to it's clients with the rest of the IP info thus making it easier to provide each machine with a static route.
