Re: <LONG>Re: Dual NICs, Routing Problem

Wow...I appreciate the time & thought you put into your response.

Here's the answer to your question:

No dice....


Regarding your suggestion about the cross-over cable. This seems to
make sense to me...and sounds like a better solution since there would
be a direct connection.

I think the issue is that the routing table is not working though. When
I try to ping a .36 IP address and watch tcpdump in another window, the
tcp traffic is not increasing at all. So, then I tried doing this:

# ping -I eth0 192.1.36.100
PING 192.1.36.100 (192.1.36.100) from 192.1.36.11 eth0: 56(84) bytes of
data.

--- 192.1.36.100 ping statistics ---
8 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 6998ms



I do not understand how this is possible. I think that if I can figure
out why this is happening, the rest will fall into place...and then
setting up the configuration you explained will be relatively easy (I
hope).

Do you have any idea why that is failing?
