Yes, I would like to access the Internet from the laptop.

Do I suspect I have a firewall problem?

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?

Bob Stanfield

1) Have you setup the machine to route traffic between lan and DSl? 2) Do you want to setup the machine to do the above.

Answer varies depending on what you wish to do and what you have done.

More info would help.

Unless routing (and/or) IP forwarding is properly set there are no rules saying what traffic should go where...

I think getting a better idea of how your network is organised might be helpful here. I am deducing that you have a laptop and a PC connected to a router, and the PC connected to the modem by ethernet via cable. What I am not clear on is whether the router is wireless, wired or both. If the machine with two network cards is the laptop we may have a more complex problem (I have come across scenarios where a laptop would not support routing between internal network devices). I think it might be an idea to forward the output given by typing at the command line the following ifstatus eth0 and ifstatus eth1 to the list. This would give me (and others on this list) more information on what we are looking at so appropriate advice can be given. - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
