I originally had just 1 NIC (eth1 I believe) configured and connected. I tried deactivating the one and activating the other. I also tried switching the cable between them, switched cables. I finally activated both of them and then tried connecting both of them. I did restart the network service after every change and rebooted after many of them too. I'm not trying to bridge nor use this machine as a firewall. I set ipforwarding=1 because it was a problem I remember having connecting to the network when I set up the other machine which does act as a firewall. When I get home I'll try reconfiguring the NICs again as you suggested. The whole thing has just baffled me because I've set up quite a few linux machines and this setup seems like it should be so straight forward. Thanks, Bruce --- On Mon 02/12, Mikkel L.

Ellertson [mailto: mikkel@infinity-ltd.com] To: fedora-list@redhat.com Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2007 20:49:06 -0600 Subject: Re: DNS or network problem The first thing that leaps out at me is the fact that eth0 and eth1 on the machine with problems have the same IP address, and are on the same network. The second is that eth1 is not getting any trafic on it. Because all your routes passes through eth1, and not eth0, I can see why you are not able to talk to any machines. All outgoing traffic tries to use an interface that is not connected to the network you are trying to talk to. (All outgoing packets dropped, and not incoming packets on eth1 as compared to 75 packets recieved, and 9 sent on eth0, with none dropped.) Probably the quickest fix is to disable eth1, or at least re-configure it, and drop the default route. Fo! r a quick test, try running, as root: ifdown eth1 ifdown eth0 ifup eth0 This should reset everything to use eth0, at least until you reboot. If eth0 and eth1 are both Ethernet cards, you could move the cable to the other interface and also have things working. Now, if you want the machine to bridge or route between eth0 and eth1, then things need to be set up different. If you want this box to be a firewall between two networks, then you will need to put eth0 and eth1 on different networks.
