I am trying to make a router using a FC4. I have 2 NICs in the machine.
Install FC4 using minimium. Eth0 is set to DHCP, connected to an ethernet
modem and ETH1 has IP 192.168.1.1, netmask 255.255.255.0 connected to a
switch. Installation was a success and rebooted the box. Clients machines
are unable to ping 192.168.1.1. But when i unplug the modem and reboot,
clients are ablt to ping 192.168.1.1. I realised if the box booted up
both
ETH0 and ETH1, clients are able to ping 192.168.1.1. But if i ifdown ETH0
and ifup ETH0, clients are able to get reply from 192.168.1.1.
Can someone tell me what should I do?
Perhaps this is the initscripts bug that causes eth0/eth1 to get
assigned to the two cards randomly?

Try the initscripts package from updates-testing
