I might have solved the problem! The clue came from your second last
e-mail.
What I have done is altered the order of the two NIC cards being loaded by
the Kernel as follows:
Before:
3890
ne io=0x300 irq=3 #D-Link DE-220E Rev.B1 as eth0
de4x5 #D-Link DE-530T+ Rev.B2 as eth1
After:
de4x5
3890
ne io=0x300 irq=3
So that eth0 is now loaded as DE-530T+ and eth1 is now loaded as DE-220E.
This can be confirmed by the change/swap in hardware addresses of the two
NIC cards in the Bering host using the command "ip addr show":
....
3: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 100
link/ether 00:80:c8:93:ba:3a brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
4: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 100
link/ether 00:80:c8:35:c6:7b brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 192.168.1.254/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global eth1
After the above change, ip route looks like this in the Bering host:
192.168.1.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.254
However,eth0/ppp0 could no long connect to my ISP/ADSL (sympatico.ca) but
eth1 can now "ping" to Win2K, and SuSE hosts and vice versa!
The next step is trying to get another new card for the Bering host.
I will try to determine if the D-Link (DE-530T+) card or the drive de4x5.o
is at fault by swapping NIC cards with the Win2K/SuSE host.
But this would have to wait as I am off to Vancouver then Hong Kong
tomorrow morning (10/08) and will be back on 10/12.
Once again thanks for your help. I shall report my findings later and buy
you a beer!
