Hi, Many thanks to everyone for all your previous advice & comments,
however this has raised my following queries, for which I would really appreciate clarification.
Stephanie Sullivan: Said...
'Did you check to see if the NIC's are enabled in the bios?'
Q: So what should I look for in the Bios ?
* At bootup it shows: F2: Setup + F10: Utility Mode + F12: PXE Boot
* And I've checked the menu via F2, and found 2 items that relate to the NIC's, ie:
a: listed under: Integrated Devices
Embedded Gb Nic1: Enabled without PXE
Mac Address: (shows a 12 digit Mac address)
Embedded Gb Nic2: Enabled without PXE
Mac Address: (shows a 12 digit Mac address)
b: and...listed under: PCI IRQ Assignment
Slot 2 Intel Corp NIC: IRQ 10
Slot 2 Intel Corp NIC: IRQ 11
Embedded Gb Nic1: IRQ 11
Embedded Gb Nic2: IRQ 3
...Stephanie: also said...
'Remove the add-in card with extra Ethernet slots.'
Q: So why would they need to add this extra Ethernet card ?
Chris Gebhardt: Said...
'So, now...you'll want to ensure that you have your network settings correct.
...since you're trying to plug in to some sort of DHCP router, and you're recycling IP addresses.
...Jeff Folk had a good suggestion on narrowing your DHCP range.
...The point, however, is that you need to allow adequate room in your network for a statically assigned IP address.'
* Originally: I 'Set & Reserved the 'static IP addresses' of the 2 routers in the 'IP Lease Table' of my router.
(ie as:P3-192.168.0.100 & Dell-192.168.0.110)...
Q: So I'm not sure why using my DHCP router would be a problem ?
Q: Or how I would go about, (or what is meant by) 'allow adequate room in your network for a statically assigned IP address' ?
...Chris: also said:
a: '...use a cross-over cable between the server and a laptop or spare PC.'
Q: So is this an Ethernet cable, or a serial cable ?
And...
b: '...Configure non-routables between the 2 systems and see if you can ping across like that.'
Q: So how/where do I 'Configure' AS 'non-routables'
Dudi Goldenberg: Said...
Try dhclient eth0 and eth1 to see if any of these will get an IP from the router.
Q: I've checked the meaning of this command online, but it's not clear.
So what is 'dhclient eth0' etc, actually doing ?
a: is attempting to set an IP ?
b: or reporting what the IP is already set to ?
Q: And what should I see when I type: dhclient eth0 (or: dhclient eth1)
Many thanks.
