Sorry I have taken so long as well. I got pulled onto another project. Yes, I have both configurations in /etc/network/interfaces. The only difference is that eth1 is on a different segment so the only number that is similar between the two NIC is the subnet mask. This is what I have (number are fictisous):
iface eth0 inet static address 172.30.14.171 network 172.30.14.0 netmask 255.255.254.0 broadcast 172.30.15.255 gateway 172.30.14.2 iface eth1 inet static address 172.30.12.219 network 172.30.12.0 netmask 255.255.254.0 broadcast 172.30.13.255 gateway 172.30.12.2 Now, I am using 3Com 3C905B NICs. I think I am going to swap them out for some Intel Pro/100s and see what happens.

Let me just give a run down of some stuff: /etc/network/interfaces: - iface lo inet loopback iface eth0 inet static address 172.16.12.42 network 172.16.12.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 172.16.12.255 gateway 172.16.12.1 - and you have the same type info for eth1 in there too /etc/init.d/network shouldn't have anything in it If everything looks ok here, and /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow are set up properly, I'm really out of ideas. Sorry about that. If I can think of something else, I'll be sure to post it. -- Chaotic42 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.pobox.com/~chaotic42/ http://www.bigplasticfork.org/ We are what we repeatedly do - Aristotle
