Hi Team,

I want to test ethernet driver for NIC, I have only one PC with two different NICs(for both drivers are different), So I disabled loopback and connected both the NICs using cross cable. Output of "ifconfig" is displaying both the interfaces and ip address is also set for both the interfaces. I executed following to set ip address : #ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 #ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 #ifconfig lo down

After that I tried to execute following commands, #route add -net 192.168.0.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.0.5 dev eth0 #route add -net 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.0.1 dev eth1 but those comands are giving error like : " route: netmask doesn't match route address"

I also put "1" in ip_forward file.

I am not able to ping anyone of those interfaces using ping command.

Can anyone give some inputs on this?

Thanks, Bhavesh.
