    I just set up a Fedora Core 4 box with 3 network cards.
    All three are configured with different IP's.

    When I try to ping somewhere in my network it always uses the same card to
    do the pinging.

    Similarly, although I have only one card plugged into the network, I am
    unable to talk to the web server, ping the machine, etc from the outside
    until I disable the other two cards.

    How do I tell the system which card I want to handle which address ranges
    (inbound and outbound)?

    Thanks
