<![CDATA[How to add an interface]]>Hi all
Im running 2.4.4
My box is setup with the motherboards onboard NIC as well as a card with two interfaces. When I did the original install I did not configure the third NIC and now I would like to use it. All the instructions I have found seem pretty basic, go to interfaces>Assign Interface than choose the MAC, add firewall rule, ect. When I plug into the the LAN 2 port with a windows laptop set for DHCP, I can get an address and gateway but can ping or get anywhere. If I plug a ubuntu box into the same port on DHCP it will never receive an address, if I set it to a static address I cant ping anything. What am I missing?

Thanks

Im not sure which DHCP server it is referring to but the only other one on the network is a different subnet and interface(10.1.10./24) Im not certain the following started after restarting the DHCP server but the windows machine that was getting an address now gets a 169 address….but if I statically assign it in the 192.168.1.0 /24 subnet I am able to ping and reach the web.

But that wouldn't cause one host to get an address when another host does not get an address would it?

Change the protocol on your LAN2 rule to any.
