When I do "ip route show" or "ifconfig", I see

eth0
eth1
eth3
lo

Does it mean the computer has 3 network cards ?

(sorry, I only have less than 5 hours with Linux Fedora)

Thanks.

Possibly. Don't you know?

The server is lying on its side, with one cover removed. Its top part
covered by a power unit (I dare not touch it); I can see two network
cards. It is very difficult to see from behind as the rack is close to
a wall, with lots of wires running behind.

By the way, my office has 2 floors. The PCs at the higher floor have
IP address type 192.168.43.* gateway type 192.168.43.1, whereas the
lower PCs have 192.168.42.* gateway type 192.168.42.1.

Do these indicate how the LAN is wired ?

Thanks.

Not necessarily.
Depending on what network software you are using,
if the current setup does not match any of
the previously used interfaces eth0, eth1, etc,
a new interface will probably be created.

You could look at /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules .
(At least that is the file on my Fedora-8 system.)
