[Sussex] Anyone into bondage?

[Brendan Whelan]

Jon,

Thanks for the response..............
The problem is that, when I try to use bonding, I can connect to the
Ethernet socket on the motherboard but not to the one on a separate card.
(When not bonded, if I configure the two Ethernet ports with different IP
addresses then they both work.) Below are the various files and system
information. I have executed:
service network restart
ifup eth0
ifup eth1

Any suggestions or is more information needed?

Thanks,  Brendan

I don't know where the 169.254.0.0 is coming from as it isn't one of my
addresses?
