Thank you Edward Dekkers for your reply. Everything you said is correct. The clients netmask is also 255.255.255.0
There are two networks one is 178.1.222.x and 178.1.221.x ok. The problem is in the gateway having two ethernet cards. The 178.1.222.x has one NIS/NFS server 178.1.222.1. I used the gateway also as NIS/NFS client to 178.1.222.1 so that users can login gateway and do their works. The first problem is I am unable to synchronise the time using NTPD in the gateway. The NTP server is LAN1 NIS/NFS server. The second problem is I am unable to ping both the available ethernet devices eth0 and eth1 in the gateway, whereas I am getting connected with the gateway from other clients. What will be the problem ? 9.

I can reach np from clients. But I am unable to ping the two IPs from np. I am trying to configure np as a proxy & firewall server. This my first trial. So if I asked silly questions please dont mind. OK, so you're saying addresses 178.1.222.11 & 178.1.221.1. Is there is a cable problem, then I will not get connected from clients. All the systems are in a same switch and netmask is 255.255.255.0. Now you're saying the netmask is 255.255.255.0. Is this correct? This means that the address 178.1.222.11 can only reach subnet 178.1.222.x Also means that the address 178.1.221.1 can only reach subnet 178.1.221.x Is this what you are trying to do? What subnet does the client have access to? --- Edward Dekkers (Director) Triple D Computer Services P/L Get Your Private, Free E-mail from Indiatimes at http://email.indiatimes.com Buy the best in Movies at http://www.videos.indiatimes.com Bid for for Air Tickets @ Re.1 on Air Sahara Flights.
