Hey, I am having a small problem. I am on a Redhat 6.2 system, and I set up successfully two network cards. A Netgear FA310TX and a Kingston KNE110TX using the tulip driver. I use eth1 for my ADSL PPPOE connection and I want eth0 for my internal network connection. I got all my network set up correctly... How do I tell linux eth0 is for internal network communication and eth1 is reserved for the PPPOE software for accessing the internet. I can successfully go on the internet using the linux machine but then when I try pinging 10.0.0.2 (my Windows client) it just sits there, it can't get a reply back from it. But the Windows machine can successfully ping 10.0.0.1 (the Linux machine).

are you on the 10.0.0.0 network as well?

what is the exact error message?

cut and paste your route table here and your ifconfig setup http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif

make sure you cables are plugged in correctly. (Eth1 is going to the net eth0 going to the LAN)

Also do a $ /sbin/arp -a and see what IP's are present
