You mean from the machine with 2 nics you can ping both of them, but from another machine you can't? How about some setup details. Switch? hub? crossover cables? If you're using a switch with lights, are they all showing a link status? What ip address is the other machine you're trying from - 172.16.30.25? And to ask the obvious (in my experience this is the biggest cause of problems) are the cables and connections ok? Can you prove it? (eg, "I just bought it" isn't good enough!) What happens when you disable eth0, and 'ping -b 172.16.0.255'? What happens when you put a crossover cable between the two nics, put their ip addresses on the same subnet, and 'ping -I <address1> <address2>'? Hope this gives you some ideas to chase, -- Iain Buchanan <iain@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Disclaimer: "These opinions are my own, though for a small fee they be yours too." -- Dave Haynie
