Hi all,
I have 2 nic's in my machine with FC6 loaded....... iam assinging two same range ip's i.e 10.0.10.1 & 10.0.10.2 with all the subnet mask and gateway address being the same for each of the interfaces......
i am taking the lan cable and inserting to the first interface and pinging the gateway, its pinging and its ok.
but when i take the same cable and insert into the other NIC it is not pinging the gateway.......
What could be the problem kindly explain.... Thanks, Raman.

Insert cable into eth0. Type mii-tool Insert cable into eth1 Type mii-tool.
What do you get?
Also, insert cable into eth0 ifdown eth1 ifup eth0 insert cable into eth1 ifdown eth0 ifup eth1
Does it work in this case?
Could you also post the output of route -n? Another thing that can go wrong is the media settings and speed (eg 100 or 10 mbps, full or half duplex.) You can see see this from this from the mii-tool output.
Regards, NMK.

If you have both interfaces with identical configuration, only one of the gateway entries is used.
Do `/sbin/route -n` and you'll see two entries for UG -- one each for eth0 and eth1. Only one of them is used in practice, even if both show up. For example, if your gateway is reachable from eth0 then it will never be reachable from eth1 till the time that the eth0 interface is configured. Only when you deconfigure eth0, will you be able to use the eth1 gateway. In fact, I suspect you'll have to refresh eth1 as well.
It is generally not very good practice to have two identically configured interfaces active from the same machine at the same time; it will be a debugging hell. Make it such that at any given time, one of the two devices is de-configured and the other is configured.

In the rectangle shaped white triband routers, the eth and usb interfaces have IPs of 1 and 2 respectively. Can they serve 2 separate machines at the same time?

depends on how the router is configured

Yes they can. I tried it once about three months back.
