[opensuse] DSL Internet and LAN conflict
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?

I would first exclude NetworkManager. It's not designed to have more than one interface active at the same time. If you are using it, switch your network configuration back to the traditional setup.

It could be an address conflict. What are the addresses, including sub net mask, for each NIC? -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

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 have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.

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.

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.
