Please help.

I have two questions about seting up my Ubuntu machine -

First, I want to install two network cards, and have them be

totally independent of each other (separate ip addresses,etc.).

When I just list them in the /etc/interfaces file I get a situation

where the first card responds to both ip addresses. What is a

simple way of configuring this?

Also, I need to be able to read a file on the Ubuntu

computer from my windows machine, which is in an AD domain.

I've created a share and can browse to the folder from

Windows, but I don't have premissions to open the file

(to read). How do I assign permissions to do this. I know

this should be easy, but I'm having trouble figuring it out.

Any help appreciated.



Software/Hardware used:
Ubuntu 8 Linux server.
