I hate to ask this, are you sure eth1 is plugged into your outbound router? Sometimes what Linux thinks is eth1 I think is eth0 looking from the outside. Also we should make sure the proper drivers are loaded. Use the 'dmesg' command to see how the hardware is initialized, and use grep to only show the interesting info- dmesg|grep eth eth0: MACE at 00:05:02:6e:70:16, chip revision 25.64 The MACE chip is the onboard ethernet. One of my Intel Linux boxes looks like this, it has a on-board Intel chip and a SIS card: dmesg|grep eth eth0: Intel PCI EtherExpress Pro100 82557, 00:03:47:06:90:28, IRQ 10. eth0: 0 multicast blocks dropped. eth1: SiS 900 PCI Fast Ethernet at 0xd400, IRQ 10, 00:40:33:e3:12:6a. eth1: SiS 900 Internal MII PHY transceiver found at address 1. eth1: Using SiS 900 Internal MII PHY as default eth1: Media Link On 100mbps full-duplex eth1: Media Link Off eth1: Media Link On 100mbps full-duplex Note that if the kernel at boot time decides to put eth1 on the Intel chip and eth0 on the SIS I could see that, and would have to switch my cables. -- Charles Dostale System Administrator Silver Oaks Communications http://www.silveroaks.com 824 17th Street Moline IL USA 61265 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 309-797-9898 -- MaX-list is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... / Buy books, CDs, videos, and more from Amazon.com \ / <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/lowendmac> \ Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> MaX-list info: <http://lowendmac.com/linux/max.shtml> Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/max-list%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Macintosh?
