Only one of these RJ45 Ports is connected, but I can Ping them both.
From where?\
Local XP Workstations. Everything is behind the Router
From the server itself (pinging its own nics) its normal.
From anywhere else on that private subnet its not normal unless said
server is a router that routes between its two nics.
If this is the case, I don't know how or why. I didn't set up any IP
forwarding on the Server.
Each just has a private IP, same Subnet, and the Router Gateway Address.
How could I test for this....?
Ok if you did not set up routing and one nic is disconnected (physically)
then you should not be able to ping that nic.
So, as root run ifconfig
Check the hardware address (hwaddr) on your two nics and make sure
they are different. (Its entirely possible to assign two addresses to the
same nic, and this would present they symptoms you see).
