I knew you wouldn't be able to resist ...hehe. First let me say I appreciate you taking time out with this since it is clearly not a mainstream problem. Also I'll add that I am a fairly long time linux/uxix user but an awfull dope about networking. Also your perception about 192.168.1.6 is well founded, but wrong. Rather it was again added confusion on my part. should have read 192.168.1.5 the eth1 address shown in the files from /etc/sysconfig. So 192.168.1.5 is mach6. The one with the screwball connection. Looks like the diagrem may have gotten a bit distorted by mail formatting so I'll let the first one stand. Now, the short answer is that it started as a way to access the internet uninterupted by shennanigans on mach5. So it was gatewayed to both the internet outlet and mach5. Mach5 itself is my pretend firewall machine where I desperately try to outwit script kiddies without suffering any compromise...because of the store bought firewall/router I'm hiding behind. I can still experiment with iptables and do dreadfully stupid things without too much fear of being hacked. But back to mach6. I got used to the two nics and got interested in why it does what it does, so left it like that. I'm going to try your experiment shortly and will be posting back about it, but my experience before setting the second gateway up was that mach6 with the ethernet wires indicated in the diagram, could not ping the router gateway 192.168.0.1 although it could reach the internet thru mach5 I guess. It only guess work on this end and certainly not terribly credible. ssh connections from it did indeed seem to `find' there way in a long pause, verbose (-v) output wasn't particularly helpfull. I thought maybe there really was some sort of finding going on. The router (192.168.0.1) is also a switch .. just for your info. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
