Hi,
I had the same problem some time ago. Are your networkcards connected to a hup? This sounds a little like a loop in your network. I used a x-cross cable to solve the problem. But more informations about your network would help to solve your problem.
So what - should'nt a distinct route determine, whereover the packets have to go to ? e.g. eth0 192.168.1.1 eth1 192.168.1.2 eth2 192.168.1.3 netstat -rn 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.1.2 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth1 192.168.1.3 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth2 route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.1.1 netstat -rn 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.1.2 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth1 192.168.1.3 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth2 192.168.1.0 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 so every packet should be routed via eth0 Yours Michael Appeldorn
