Oops. I just tried it, and it doesn't take an interface name (eth0), but rather, the IP address for the interface. So instead of

ping -I eth0 192.168.1.1

it would be

ping -I xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 192.168.1.1

Where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of eth0.

ping has a -I option that allows you to specify the source interface. I haven't used this option myself, but I would guess Chadha used some thing like this: 'ping -I eth0 192.168.1.1'.

Dear Chadha:

In (4.) & (5.)...

I know how to ping from a host with an 'eth0' or 'eth1' device.
I do not know how to ping from 'eth0' or from 'eth1'.

Sorry, I cannot help.

4.Pinging 192.168.1.1 from eth0 gave destnation host unreachable and pinging
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx from eth1 gave the same.

5. I can connect to internet using eth0 since I can browse the internet. I
can also ping the gateway from eth0
