2 nics on ubuntu 5.10 box loses internet connection

[jeisma]

hello!

im on a lan. i added a 2nd nic on my box. configured its ip address as static.

i can no longer access the internet. eth0 address is allowed internet access, eth1 (new one) address is not.

seems like browsing defaults to eth1?

how do i tell the browser to use eth0?

thanks!

the browser doesn't care about your nic's....all you need to set is your default gateway.
what does ifconfig and route -v say?

/etc/network$ route -v

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.0.0 * 255.255.254.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
192.168.0.0 * 255.255.254.0 U 0 0 0 eth0

i dont put in gateway but i can connect to the internet if i only eth0. what could be missing in my config?

thanks!

At the cli as root " route add default gw 192.168.1.245 eth0 " with out the quotes. then route -v You have eth0 & eth1 on different subnets .1 eth1 and .0 eth0 so it may not set the route but bash will give you an error if it won't work. you may have to get both eth0 and eth1 on the same subnet.
