I have just gotten suse 7.3 installed. it detects my 2 nics just fine, then i go into an give them both static ips. no problem there, but then i asign the default gateway, need default gateway to be different on both. one of the nics is for internal lan an ther other is for external with a public ip from swbell for internet access. I setup the one nic for internal lan an give it a defalt gateway address then set up the second nic an give it the default gateway i got from swbell. then go an recheck the default gateway for 1st nic an it has the default gateaddress the same as the second nic. Is there a way to have separate default gateways on the 2 nics. thanks. this box will be our router in the future when i get iptables set so the reason for 2 nics. GOing to make a stab at setting up iptables for the 1st time. jack
