I do not know why, and tried adding static routes and fails. I had a similar problem recently while trying to set up a dual-homed PC; interface to the internet was fine but a ping to the next machine on the LAN took forever. It turned out that there was a conflict between one of the ethercard's IRQ with another device on the system. I would suggest checking for IRQ conflicts first. > 4.

This normal. The PPP is in case you want to use your modem to dial out and ftp while the lpt0 is (I believe) in case you want to use the parallel port to download stuff. > When I swtich back the ed0 and ed1 setting, it works but not reliable, > often break during the installation.

Just configure ONE of your ethernet interface to download the stuff. After which, you are given a chance to configure other interfaces. It should work after that. Hope that helps. N. Fung
