I think I could just do a swap cable between the two nic 2's .
I haven't done much with multi-nic routing. I did a software router / firewall about 8 years ago..
Thanks, Mike
Since Machine 1 and Machine 2 are in the same building, are Nic1 on both machines in the same subnet? Does Machine 1 have direct access to Machine 2, ie. not haveing to go through the router?
Mike
Yes they are on the same subnet, but there is no direct connect only via the router. I would like to do a direct connect between them just for the VNC and would have to be on another subnet (as I see it) , thus all the questions (I'm learning)
There is _no_ need for the separate nic as VNC uses very little bandwidth. Eliminating the router will not make it any faster. I have used VNC across dialup to an office in another state and although it was slow it worked (and was faster then flying there to fix a problem). -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
