Configure NICs on Casper

I worked with Haikel today to configure Casper to run network services, specifically Samba. First, we needed to configure the network cards, or NICs. I had de-activated the cards and since there were two, we needed to pick which one to use. Using the old-fashioned trial-and-error method, we selected the 100-mbs card, which is configured as eth1 with the IP address of 192.168.1.23. The other card, eth0 at 192.168.1.22, only supports a transfer rate of 10 Mbs, so I pulled the cable and deactivated it. I used rehat-config-network to set up the cards.
