I have two ethernet card on a Freebsd box pc, ed0 to internet ed1 to local. 2. I found that the local connection is slow and not reliable, while the internet connection works perfectly. 3. I do not know why, and tried adding static routes and fails. 4. As another case which might has relation with this problem, I also met some problem during installation. I use ftp installation from a site inside China. When I set internet-connected netcard to ed1 and local to ed0, the installation always fails. And the system auto-load some interfaces which I did not assign, like ppp connection via lpt0. When I swtich back the ed0 and ed1 setting, it works but not reliable, often break during the installation. I have to set ONE ed0 to the internet connection and disabled the ed1, and thus the systems works fine. It should not be my pc or netcards' problem, since I have running Linux 1.2.x and Linux 2.0.x on it for more than a year and everything works fine.
