You have 2 interfaces e0 and e1 on the same subnet the 10.0.0.1 and the 10.0.0.250 are on the SAME network the router cannot decide where to send the packet if you were to do a "show log" command after issuing the ping you will see an "encapsulation failure" message. To make this work choose another network for your e1 interface ie 192.168.1.250 adjust the config how is left as an exercise for the reader... ___________________________________ UPDATED Posting Guidelines: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/guide.html FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
