Original question below, but in summary:
Have a dualport ethernet card on a DS20E, Tru64 5.0. When the
second is configured via the sysman/networking GUI with its own
distinct IP and hostname, networking restarted (or even system
rebooted) logins (eg. telnet) from another host to either of its
two hostnames would hang between the connect and the username
prompt.
Various suggestions included experimentation with subnetting changes,
which I have no control over, and routing between the two interfaces
if they are in different subnets, which they are not.
Solution appears to have involved some of our subnet network hubs.
When our network folks decided to set all ports from speed auto-
negotiation/fixed half-duplex to speed and duplex autonegotiation,
the problem disappeared. Both interfaces are reporting in the boot
log as having autonegotiated a 100mb full-duplex connection and all
seems to be well now.

How does one do dual hosting correctly?
I have a DS20E (v5.0 1094) with a dual port ethernet card.
One, ee0, was configured using the sysman NIC setup utility
and has been running fine. I had a need to configure the second
port, with distinct IP/hostname in the same subnet, for some
high-bandwith data xfers (LAN and WAN). I set up the second
interface port, ee1, the same way using sysman NIC setup,
and no further steps. There is no routed or gated running,
just the standard default static route as everything else in
the subdomain uses. After restarting network services (and
even after a reboot) a telnet from a remote machine to this
host, to either the ee0 or ee1 IP, will hang before prompt
for username.
Previous searches thru the SUMMARYs found mention of one not
supposed to be able to assign IPs of same subdomain to NICs
on the same machine. Is this true? Then what is dual hosting
and how does one config for it?
