I've posted parts of this problem before, and thanks to the folks who
have made suggestions. However, I'm still stuck.

I'm a relative newbie with Linux trying to set up a gateway box with
three NICs so I can masquerade the ip addresses of a DMZ and Internal
network similar to the description in the IPCHAINS HOWTO.

At this point, I've just set up three networks  with reserved addresses
around the gateway box while I work out the routing. But for reasons I
cannot work out, two of the NICs (eth1 and eth2) in the gateway box are
behaving bizarrely. I can ping them from "inside" the gateway box, and I
can also ping them from the network attached to eth0. However, I cannot
ping them from the networks attached directly to the NICs.

It seems to me that there must be some Truly Stoooopid error I've made
in a simple configuration, but I can't find it and would *greatly*
appreciate any help. This is driving me nuts.

Here's my network topology:

I'm running Debian (potato) on a scavenged P75 box. I've got an Intel
EtherExpress Pro 10/100 PCI NIC at eth0, and two Intel EntherExpress
Pro/10+ ISA NICs at eth1 and eth2. I believe I've successfully
configured the ISA NICs via isapnptools; the PCI NIC was found
automagically during the Debian installation. Here's the ifconfig
output:

The NICs' LEDs indicate that they're connected and responding to traffic
on their networks, and when I stuck the ISA NICs into a Windoze box,
they worked fine. So I believe the NICs are OK except for some idiotic
configuration error.

Here's what happens:
        - 192.168.2.2 can ping 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.3.1
        - 192.168.1.2 can't ping 192.168.1.1
        - 192.168.3.2 can't ping 192.168.3.1
        - 192.168.2.2 can't ping 192.168.1.2 or 192.168.3.2

Here's my routing table:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination   Gateway      Genmask         Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.3.0   0.0.0.0      255.255.255.0   U     0      0   0   eth2
192.168.2.0   0.0.0.0      255.255.255.0   U     0      0   0   eth0

IPforwarding is on.

The only clue I have is that eth1 and eth2 both report an error
"multicast setup failed" during boot (presumably when they're
ifconfig'd) as well as when I ifconfig 'em from the command line. Here's
the relevant part of dmesg:

Is there something else I need to do in /etc/isapnp.conf? Here's mine

Does anyone see what the problem is here? Arrgh!!
