I've just created a new server with the following specifications:
P4 3Ghz 4mb L2 Cache
2 Gig ddr2 800mhz ram
160gig Sata HD
i also bought two Intel Corporation 82557/8/9/0/1 Ethernet Pro 100 and two 3Com Corporation 3c905B 100BaseTX [Cyclone]. i decided to mix the two brands and use One 3Com which i made for the lan and the intel i used for the net
The setup went through with no problems.
after i rebooted the server I went through the wizard. then it showed Eth1 (the one that should be for the net) as UNUSED. I have no idea why.
Eth0 (the one for the lan) works just fine.
So I figured fine. I'll setup Eth1 manually.
I followed the quickstart guide and I gave Eth1 the Internet IP, I added a DNS forwrder, i enabled NAT Masquerdating and I thought i was done.
I also enabled DHCP on the lan.
Now Whenever i try to open a web page it takes literally 30 seconds to even resolve the IP for the website.
So first question is: why is the wizard not adding my internet interface?
second question: what am i missing thats making my manual configuration so slow?
Please help!
i've also attached lspci output
