Hi Creideiki!!
                        Karamba! U r correct! "DOH!" I now get where I was
wrong. I had eth0 of router configured 192.168.0.1 as gateway and trying to
ping from 192.168.0.1 eth0 to eth1!!! Naturally it was going to 192.168.0.1
for the route....Hey man...Thanx for the eyeopener!! I was dumb really
..hehe

I will notw happily setup rest of the work. Thanx again for removing the
stumble.

With lots of wishes,
Giri
