This is not going to work! ... if you understand me and I understand you, then yes ;) when the cable is plugged into eth0, and the network script on arrakis is restarted, then arrakis can ping caladan. when the cable is plugged into eth1 and the same procedure is followed then the ping fails. if the cable is then plugged into eth0 and the network script restarted then the ping succeeds again. what's wrong with the "experiment"? it seems to me that there's a problem with eth1. the immediate goal is to ping from arrakis eth1 to caladan. thanks, Thufir
