Yea, I knew that. But that doesn't explain why the second Gig-E port doesn't show. I believe that the GUI is only written to support a single network interface. There is no provision in it for a second one.

<br />> Actually, these new HP servers
have
three ports. Two Gig-E and one FastEthernet for management.
<br />>
<br />>
But the GUI doesn't even know there is more than one. It merely
allows
you to set a IP on the server - which luckily turns up on the first
Gig-E
port. There is nothing else in the GUI to set up additional ports
(like
eth1 or eth2).
