 Posted: Mon Jun 25, 2007 8:40 pm Post subject: Only one ethernet card works at a time [Solved] |
 |
|
I'm in the process of setting up a small office network (a new experience for myself), and can only get one of the ethernet cards working at a time. If both cards are up, then neither card will be able to ping anything.
I'm attempting to have eth0 direct to the WAN, and eth1 direct to the LAN. Right now, I only want to ping out from the center.
When I have both the WAN connection and the ethx card connected directly to the hub, I can ping everything, However, when I connect the WAN to eth0 and eth1 into the LAN hub, I can only ping one direction or another (WAN or LAN, depending upon which card I have up). I've confirmed that only one card will function at a time by connecting one directly to the WAN, and taking the other card down. I've interchanged the up cards and connections, so I know that both cards do work - but, only one at a time.
Yea, I know my /etc/conf.d/net is a bit dorked up at the moment, since they both show the same gateway. However, that file looks like this:
| Code: |
modules=( "ifconfig" )
config_eth0=( "192.168.1.2/24 brd 192.168.1.255" )
config_eth1=( "192.168.1.3/24 brd 192.168.1.255" )
routes_eth0=( "default via 192.168.1.1" )
routes_eth1=( "default via 192.168.1.1" )
dns_domain_lo="obamavols-wa.org"
|
Additionally, ipconfig -a looks like this:
| Code: |
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1A:92:F0:19:45

Where the eth2 is coming from, I have no idea. There are only two cards on the box, and two configured. I have not idea what the sit0 is.
At the present, I've not started configuring iptables, and haven't started it yet. (I'll add that to the default level and start playing with that once I'm sure I can get a basic connection going to both the WAN and LAN from the center.)
Any ideas of how I've dorked myself this time?
Thanx

I'm not sure what you are trying to do; however, this will not work no matter what that is. The WAN and LAN interfaces must be on different subnets. |

I believe
| Code: | routes_eth0=( "default via 192.168.1.1" )
routes_eth1=( "default via 192.168.1.1" ) |
should be
| Code: | routes_eth0=( "default gw 192.168.1.1" )
routes_eth1=( "default gw 192.168.1.1" ) |
And in reference to what embobo said eth1 will be your lan interface and eth0 shoudl be your wan interface. |

Thanx to both of you. Actually, placing the two ethernet cards on separate sub nets was all that it took to get the cards functioning as I need them to do.
I'll take a look at the suggestion of using "gw" as opposed to "via", however, all of the documentation says "via".
Thanx

| It could have changed or either is accepted and the person who wrote the document uses via over gw. however if it works leave it be. |
