You have 2 NICs on the same subnet. Only one can be the default and in most flavors of *nix when 2 NICs are on the same subnet the drivers often get confused and in some cases all communication is either lost or severely slowed down with this setup. You can check which the system is using as the default by running "netstat -r". The Iface column will tell which is the default interface for the line that starts with default. Your route output below does not list a default route, and it lists 2 routes to the 192.168.0.0 network. A very simple test to see which interface is having the problem ( I don't suspect either) would be to do the following 1. ifdown eth0 2. ping 192.168.0.102 3. ifup eth0 4. ifdown eth1 5. ping 192.168.0.102 6. ifup eth1 7. ping 192.168.0.102 then compare the results of the pings. I suspect the only one that may have a problem is step 7 when both interfaces are active. > arrakis eth0 192.168.0.100 > arrakis eth1 192.168.0.101 > caladan eth0 192.168.0.102 > > terminal stuff from arrakis: > > [root@arrakis init.d]# echo "arrakis eth0 pinging caladan eth0" > arrakis eth0 pinging caladan eth0 > [root@arrakis init.d]# ./network restart > Shutting down interface eth0: [ OK ] > Shutting down interface eth1: [ OK ] > Shutting down loopback interface: [ OK ] > Disabling IPv4 packet forwarding: [ OK ] > Setting network parameters: [ OK ] > Bringing up loopback interface: [ OK ] > Bringing up interface eth0: [ OK ] > Bringing up interface eth1: [ OK ] > [root@arrakis init.d]# ping 192.168.0.102 > PING 192.168.0.102 (192.168.0.102) 56(84) bytes of data. > 64 bytes from 192.168.0.102: icmp_seq=0 ttl=128 time=1.33 ms > 64 bytes from 192.168.0.102: icmp_seq=1 ttl=128 time=0.465 ms > 64 bytes from 192.168.0.102: icmp_seq=2 ttl=128 time=0.464 ms > 64 bytes from 192.168.0.102: icmp_seq=3 ttl=128 time=0.472 ms > 64 bytes from 192.168.0.102: icmp_seq=4 ttl=128 time=0.466 ms > > --- 192.168.0.102 ping statistics --- > 5 packets transmitted, 5 received, 0% packet loss, time 4028ms > rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.464/0.641/1.339/0.349 ms, pipe 2 You do not know which interface this went through from this output > [root@arrakis init.d]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 > # built-in > DEVICE=eth0 > ONBOOT=yes > BOOTPROTO=none > HOSTNAME=arrakis > #HWADDR=00:0D:88:37:FA:22 > NETMASK=255.255.255.0 > IPADDR=192.168.0.100 > USERCTL=yes > PEERDNS=yes > TYPE=Ethernet > IPV6INIT=yes > > [root@arrakis init.d]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 > # D-Link System Inc RTL8139 Ethernet > DEVICE=eth1 > ONBOOT=yes > BOOTPROTO=none > HOSTNAME=arrakis > HWADDR=00:0D:88:37:FA:22 > NETMASK=255.255.255.0 > IPADDR=192.168.0.101 > USERCTL=yes > PEERDNS=yes > TYPE=Ethernet > IPV6INIT=yes > [root@arrakis init.d]# ifconfig > eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0A:E6:A0:24:27 > inet addr:192.168.0.100 Bcast:192.168.0.255 > Mask:255.255.255.0 > inet6 addr: fe80::20a:e6ff:fea0:2427/64 Scope:Link > UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 > RX packets:123 errors:6 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:6 > TX packets:62 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 > collisions:21 txqueuelen:1000 > RX bytes:15378 (15.0 KiB) TX bytes:4144 (4.0 KiB) > Interrupt:5 Base address:0xd400 > > eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0D:88:37:FA:22 > inet addr:192.168.0.101 Bcast:192.168.0.255 > Mask:255.255.255.0 > inet6 addr: fe80::20d:88ff:fe37:fa22/64 Scope:Link > UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 > RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 > TX packets:45 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 > collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 > RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:3090 (3.0 KiB) > Interrupt:5 Base address:0xd000 > The only one showing a received count is eth0 > lo Link encap:Local Loopback > inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 > inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host > UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 > RX packets:108 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 > TX packets:108 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 > collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 > RX bytes:8528 (8.3 KiB) TX bytes:8528 (8.3 KiB) > > [root@arrakis init.d]# route > Kernel IP routing table > Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use > Iface > 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 > eth0 > 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 > eth1 > 169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 > eth1 No default route?
