Ok. I'm at the point where I have the 2 extra network cards installed. eth0 goes to my cable modem, and is the default route. eth1 and eth2 are for the 2 kids computers. When I do ifconfig I get this:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:B5:C0:C0:40 inet addr:67.21.58.221 Bcast:67.21.58.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::210:b5ff:fec0:c040/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:56456 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:15420 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:6678890 (6.3 Mb) TX bytes:1220724 (1.1 Mb) Interrupt:5 Base address:0x3000 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0C:41:E7:BE:A6 inet6 addr: fe80::20c:41ff:fee7:bea6/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:30 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:60 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Interrupt:10 Base address:0xdc00 eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0C:41:EA:80:36 inet6 addr: fe80::20c:41ff:feea:8036/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:20 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:40 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Interrupt:11 Base address:0xe000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:5247 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:5247 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:2097769 (2.0 Mb) TX bytes:2097769 (2.0 Mb) So both cards are now reecognised by the kernel. But pings to 192.168.0.11 and 192.168.0.12 aren't answered; doing a traceroute to 192.168.0.11 shows that the pings are going out the cable modem on eth0 to my ISP's private network instead of eth1. So my next problem is how to set up routing for the 2 hosts. The route command shows: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 67.21.58.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default va-staff-u1-c3f 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 This isn't working: # route add -host 192.168.0.11 dev eth1 SIOCADDRT: No such device How do I add the routes for the 2 hosts so that pings go to them? I can't sseem to find a howto that explains how to get the machines pinging back and forth without dhcp. Once I get things right on the server, I want to do each host, and get them pinging bothh ways. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Russ.
