This is where things get interesting. You can ping (from a wkstn) both IPs at eth0, with the network cable plugged into physical device eth0, but neither at physical device eth1. You can ping (from the linuxbox) the gw address with the cable in physical device eth0, but not in physical device eth1. For all intents and purposes the NIC appears dead even though it is configured. The ifcfg files in /etc/sysconfig/network appear ok. 'ifconfig' shows everthing to be working. 'modules.conf' aliases are correct.
Another 3com (different type - same driver) nic was used, the effect persists. The second NIC was replaced with a card based of the RTL8139D chipset, the effect persists.
Under this config I have also seen an error message appear at boot, this relates to line 154 of the 'ifup-route' script, I have passed this on to the author, Christian Zoz at SuSE (If he is still there!).
Now am I forgetting something simple or is something sinister and/or forgtten hiding somewhere. Can someone please help me.

Is this a case where you are trying two NICs on the same network without bonding them? What happens if you assign them different IP addresses on different networks? 192.168.0.10/16 and 192.168.1.10/16 for example... Stan
