A proper routing table. What is the output of "route -n"?
Do you know from your ISP what is the IP number of their gateway?
Hi and many thanks. Of course I will get the information from the route -n and the IP. It's just that we've never had to do this before. We just put in 192.168.0.254 as a dummy gateway in Yast and all our previous servers have worked fine. But that was under 7.3. has this changed for 8.0? Our ISP confirms this and says that we don't need it as our ADSL router does it for us. Back tomorrow with the route -n. Meanwhile, are my alias and modprobes above correct?
If you see both eth interfaces when you type ifconfig, then I would assume they are OK. Remember that the first network card you load becomes eth0, and the second becomes eth1. For the machines on the 192.168.0.x network, you don't need a gateway. For the machine that has the connection to the ISP, the default gateway should be the one provided by them. I would suggest you use an IP number different than your local lan network. For example set eth0 to 192.168.100.22 and netmask 255.255.255.0. Set eth1 to 192.168.0.1 and netmask 255.255.255.0 -- Rafael
