I took a quick look at the instruction sheet, it appears he showed you
how to make a
virtual NIC connection not a physical card.
1. ifconfig hme1 plumb -notrailers
2. touch /etc/hostname.hme1
3. vi /etc/hostname.hme1
enter name for this connection.
4. eeprom local-mac-address?=true
This makes the OS use the hardwards MAC address from both
NICs.
5. vi /etc/hosts
add system name and ip address for this new connection
6. You will want to add this edit if you want ip_forwarding to function
vi /etc/init.d/inetinit
find these two lines:
echo 'Machine is an IPv4 router.'
/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/ip ip_forwarding 1
and copy them and add them back in as the last two lines in the file.
This will ensure ip_forwarding is working.
7. halt and reboot -r
That should do it.
