DNS or network problem

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.

-0600Subject: Re: DNS or network problemThe first thing that leaps out at me is the fact that eth0 and eth1on the machine with problems have the same IP address, and are onthe same network. The second is that eth1 is not getting any traficon it. Because all your routes passes through eth1, and not eth0, Ican see why you are not able to talk to any machines. All outgoingtraffic tries to use an interface that is not connected to thenetwork 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 leastre-configure it, and drop the default route. For a quick test, tryrunning, as root:ifdown eth1ifdown eth0ifup eth0This should reset everything to use eth0, at least until you reboot.If eth0 and eth1 are both Ethernet cards, you could move the cableto the other interface and also have things working.Now, if you want the 
machine to bridge or route between eth0 andeth1, then things need to be set up different. If you want this boxto be a firewall between two networks, then you will need to puteth0 and eth1 on different networks.Mikkel-- Bruce Hyatt wrote:> Below is the output from the machine that works:> > ifconfig:> eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:40:33:AA:94:56 >           inet addr:192.168.1.199  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0>           inet6 addr: fe80::240:33ff:feaa:9456/64 Scope:Link>           UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1>           RX packets:10263 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0>           TX packets:129 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0>           collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000>           RX bytes:3210318 (3.0 Mb)  TX bytes:10568 (10.3 Kb)>           Interrupt:10 Base address:0xec00> > lo        Link encap:Local Loopback >           inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0>           inet6
