The cable package says Belkin FastCAT5e Network Cable, with RJ45 male connectors on each end. Are you saying that I have to switch a couple wires on one end of these cables? > Both the kids PC's are configured using static IP (11 & 12) so you > should setup the connected nics accordingly....i.e. "ifconfig eth1 > 192.168.0.1 up" and what'll happen when you "ifconfig eth2 192.16.0.1 > up"......Don't know??? Maybe you could use a diferent subnet there > like 192.168.1. and rename one of the 2 kids 192.168.1.11 and bridge > the two nics...that I know howto, keep it for later:) OK, I changed the ip numbers, did the `ifconfig ethx 192.168.x.x up' thing, and now the route works: Kernel IP routing table (on behne.us) Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 67.21.58.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.2.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth2 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 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 And pings now work to both hosts from the server: ping -c1 jackie ; ping -c1 jennifer PING jackie.behne.us (192.168.2.22) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from jackie.behne.us (192.168.2.22): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.122 ms --- jackie.behne.us ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.122/0.122/0.122/0.000 ms PING jennifer.behne.us (192.168.1.11) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from jennifer.behne.us (192.168.1.11): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.119 ms ...and that's odd, since host jennifer is a Windblows box not properly configured yet. (I keep getting the error message `network cable unplugged' --- and no clue, since it is plugged in.) Host jackie (MDK 9.1) can ping the server and gets responses just fine, but nothing else works yet. I tried a browser to http://behne.us (which should work within my localnet,) but it gets a `can't connect' message. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Russ.
