Using yast->routing what is the correct way to configure this 2 nic (on the 192.168.123 network)? When I put in the expert config section of routing, dest 192.168.123.0 and give it a gateway of the 192.168.123 network, somethings stop working. So my question is how is a dual nic system suppose to be setup using routing?
It depends on what you want to achieve. I ust want my email to work without any dropped connection error from the email client
And then the system has one default gateway, which is on one of the two networks, so it will be automatically found, and used for all packets destined for machines not on one of the two local networks.
For most setups, this will happen absolutely automatically when you assign addresses to the two NICs. The addresses on these nic's are static If you want anything more complex than this, then you need to study up on routing.
If 192.168.123.0 is one of the two local networks, it doesn't need a gateway. A gateway for a network is a machine through which you go when trying to get to a non-local subnet
Anders With nothing entered into the routing in yast, email client comes back with a dropped connection. With 192.168.123.0 and gw of 192.168.123.x, email works fine but other novell services stop working. Also, a traceroute from a client pc to the server shows 2 hops and a traceroute from server to the same client pc shows 1 hop. The packet should return the same path it took and I think this is where the problem is, I believe.
