Hi, Devesh: I think 'destination host unreachable' is a routing problem. I think that then no packets are transmitted. If true, ping would not run and there is no ping failure.
I think we are done with your original problem of 'ping' failure. I am guessing, because you never reported the output of ifconfig eth0, eth1, lo only that they were 'configured correctly'. Is eth0 == external network (internet?)? Is eth1 == internal network 192.168.1.1? If yes, why would they ping each other? I see no reason for your internal NIC to 'talk to' your external NIC. I see no reason for your external NIC to 'talk to' your internal NIC. I think the two NICs should never see each others packets without passing through the router host. >From your previous 'netstat -nr' report, from that host, if you 'ping -c 4 192.168.1.x' the host will route the packets to eth1; if you ping any other address the host will route the packets to eth0. OBTW, when I ping -I eth0 192.168.1.1 ping: bad interface address 'eth0' is what I get. I do have an eth0 device. :-| HTH, Chuck "Chadha, Devesh" wrote: > > The name is Devesh. > > I have already answered the question in an earlier email.
