Ok, I have one machine, with one nic connected to my cable modem. I brought an older machine back to life, and threw a 2nd nic into my main machine to connect to the old one. Main's eth1 IP is 10.0.0.1, Older's IP is 10.0.0.2. Older machine is running Win2K, Main running Linux. Neither can ping each other, and I think it's has something to do with the routes. Here's my route table for Main: [root@riodo lib]# /sbin/route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 172.16.118.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 vmnet1 10.0.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 172.16.234.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 vmnet8 65.30.112.0 * 255.255.240.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default mkc-65-30-112-1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 [root@riodo lib]# Any ideas? -Lucas
