SuSE 7.2 has a major glitch which has been not been answered in my previous post. If you set IP addressing up with YaST1 as I tried, and I'm not sure about YaST2 also, The gateway of nic 0 (eth0) is added to the 2nd nic, (eth1) screwing up the network big time.
I wanted xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (static) to be the IP of nic 0, and let it pick up the gateway automatically and hard set the gateway of eth1 to the static IP of eth0. No go.
What exactly do you mean by 'pick up the gateway automatically' ? There is no routing 'per nic'. The routing table is for the tcp/ip stack as such, so I don't exactly understand what you mean by 'added to the second nic'. Could you post the routing table, so we can see what you mean. regards Anders
