Hello Newsgroup,

I could not find any solution for my problem, and hope to fine it here.

Some specifications:
Genttoo Linux (2.6.8.1) running on HP ProLiant DL 360 G4 2x3.0 GHz
DualCore XEON
1 x 2 Port OnBoard Mobo nic (tg3 module)
2 x 4 Port Intel Pro 1000 (So we have 10 eth Interfaces - from eth0 to
eth9)

My Problem was, that eth0 had answered to any ARP Request, which was
sent to eth1 - eth9 for example. So it answered every arp request for he
other Interfaces.

I followed these Steps at:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=2149737#2149737 and now my eth0
interface answers only to ARP Requests, which are explicity for itself.

But now, the other Interfaces do not function correctly. When I try to
ping eth1 for example, I see the ARP Request (tcpdump) on eth1 but eth1
does not answer the ARP REQUEST, so no IP connection gets established.

Can anyone please give me a hint? What is wrong here? Why do my other
eth Interfaces no more answer to ARP Requests? My eth0 - and only eth0 -
still function as it should.

Thanks in Advance!

Regards,
Adem Sen
