Folks,
I have two ethernet card, one devoted to a Hughes satellite Internet modem and the second to my home LAN via a Linksys router.
My problem. I can't get them both operate at the same time. If I configure the Internet as DSL (eth1)and the LAN (eth0) with user defined IDs, the Internet is accessible and the LAN is unreachable. If I then
<ifconfig eth1 down>
now the LAN works and the Internet is unreachable.
Then
<ifconfig eth1 up>
the LAN doesn't work again and the Internet works.
What's up?
In addition to what has been said, I'm sure your problem is with
routing. You can check your routing table with the command 'netstat
-nr". Your default route should point to eth1. You should have a route
to your local area net through eth0. As stated, network manager is not
the right tool. Configure both cards for traditional ifup. You can then
use Yast to set up the gateway and routing.
Or, if you prefer, you can use the route(8) command to set up the
routing table.
