 I got the mac addresses form
 enp> test macadd show....it displayed all 4 macs addresses..
 in the ixsys*.config file i added these macadd to the ports 0, 1, 2,
3...
( i havent modified the route* file, like some had suggested to at the
GW, show
I? ) ... 
 did ./ixstart ixsys*.config.... 
ifconfig ..
for the l3 sample displays all 4 interfaces
for the count sample displays none of th interfaces ?


in both cases when i try pinging the port from another machine directly
connected by a crossover, it says network unreachable... any ideas??

when i did a tcpdump on the external machine it hung and now refuses to
reboot?

can i connect the port to a LAN through a straight cable and be able to
notice
activity??


thanx,
vikram
