ok, this is weird, I set up my SuSE box with two nics, 192.168.0.5 and 192.168.0.2, I'm pinging from a 3rd box, if I have the .0.5 nic unplugged from my hub, I can't ping .0.5 OR .0.2, I plug it in, fine on both. But, I can unplug .0.2 and still ping both... I'm so confused... any pointers would be nice. flea

Put them on different networks. You have them both on the same net.

0.5 appears to be responding on both IP addresses. Either you've set up that machine with 2 IP addresses (look at what ifconfig tells you) or the routing from the third machine is somehow pointing network 192.168.0.0 addresses at one host. Either way, you've messed something up quite convincingly! You might want to puzzle it out, but sometimes it's just easier to delete all the network config stuff from all the machines, sit down and work it out from scratch, then do it right.
Hi, Even IBM does not support two cards on the same subnet in the same system. ;-) You can use IP aliasing if you want this machine to answer both IPs... bye, -alexm On Mon, 26 Jul 1999, flea wrote:

Disable routing on your SuSE box. Then it works as you expect.
