yes, that's exactly what it means.

uh,uh. things start getting complicated, especially because i missed the
beginning of the thread. from what i can figure out, your configuration
is the following:
GOOFY
(192.168.1.1)eth0 eth1(192.168.2.1)
/ \
/ \
(192.168.1.2) MICKEY MINI (192.168.2.2)
and on goofy your hosts file is
#file /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.domain
192.168.1.1 GOOFY.ORION.DE GOOFY
194.25.2.129 t-online.de t-online
192.168.2.2 MINI.ORION.DE MINI
192.168.1.2 MICKEY.ORION MICKEY
first: DONT use real (internet) domain names if you ever want to connect
your system to the internet. this will save you a lot of troubles.
- Can all machines ping each other by IP ?(that would mean IP-forwarding
works)?
- Who can ping whom by name? thats a matter of name resolution. i noticed
that you have
192.168.2.2 MINI.ORION.DE MINI
but only
192.168.1.2 MICKEY.ORION MICKEY
maybe thats the source for some of your problems.
- How do the /etc/hosts files of the clients (mickey, mini) look like?
if you want them to ping each other by name you will have to do one
of the following:
+ keep correct hosts files on every client. bad idea, esp. if you want
to attach more clients to your network.
+ serve /etc/hosts by NIS. thats what i would do for a home network.
+ install a DNS server on goofy for your domain. maybe too sophisticated
for just a few clients - except you want to learn how to run a DNS
server...
What i did not catch at all: why are you serving two clients by two NICS?
would make sense only for an exercise on 'how to configure ipforwarding'
