But I have no idea why ping behaves differently. So there are some clarifications: - kernel 2.6.35.14-96.fc14.i686.PAE and ping from iputils-20100418 - from ppp0 (other interface to internet) both variants works fine. - from eth2 (third iface to internet, its private IP is 1:1 NATed at ISP site to public IP) both "ping -I" variants works when eth2 is (system, in table main) default route. - when setting eth1 as system default route, situation reversed: both "ping -I" variants works on eth1, and on eth2 only when its IP is used with ping -I. Likely expected, as routing tables & rules are symmetric for both eth1 and eth2. - from outside (from internet) is possible without problem ping to all three IPs/FQDNs corresponding with eth1/eth2/ppp0 and connect to services on this Linux box. - above behavior is the same independently to whether iptables are stopped or active. - ip routing tables and rules (made according to LARTC HOWTO): # ip rule show 0: from all lookup local 32763: from 90.187.57.21 lookup adsl 32764: from 10.3.60.10 lookup wifibudka 32765: from 10.128.254.2 lookup wifismrk 32766: from all lookup main 32767: from all lookup default # ip route list 90.187.57.21 dev ppp0 scope link src 90.187.57.21 78.103.210.66 dev ppp0 proto kernel scope link src 90.187.57.21 10.128.254.0/29 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 10.128.254.2 10.3.60.0/24 dev eth2 proto kernel scope link src 10.3.60.10 10.0.1.0/24 dev eth3 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.1.254 192.168.0.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.254 169.254.0.0/16 dev eth1 scope link metric 1002 169.254.0.0/16 dev eth2 scope link metric 1003 169.254.0.0/16 dev eth3 scope link metric 1004 169.254.0.0/16 dev eth0 scope link metric 1005 default via 10.3.60.1 dev eth2 # ip route list table wifismrk 90.187.57.21 dev ppp0 scope link 10.128.254.0/29 dev eth1 scope link src 10.128.254.2 10.3.60.0/24 dev eth2 scope link 192.168.0.0/24 dev eth0 scope link 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo scope link default via 10.128.254.1 dev eth1 # ip route list table wifibudka 90.187.57.21 dev ppp0 scope link 10.128.254.0/29 dev eth1 scope link 10.3.60.0/24 dev eth2 scope link src 10.3.60.10 192.168.0.0/24 dev eth0 scope link 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo scope link default via 10.3.60.1 dev eth2 # ip route list table adsl 90.187.57.21 dev ppp0 scope link src 90.187.57.21 10.128.254.0/29 dev eth1 scope link 10.3.60.0/24 dev eth2 scope link 192.168.0.0/24 dev eth0 scope link 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo scope link default dev ppp0 scope link # ip addr show 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo 2: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UNKNOWN qlen 1000 link/ether 00:30:4f:39:4b:49 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 10.128.254.2/29 brd 10.128.254.7 scope global eth1 3: eth2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000 link/ether 00:08:c7:25:c7:53 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 10.3.60.10/24 brd 10.3.60.255 scope global eth2 4: eth3: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000 link/ether 00:08:c7:19:3b:94 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 10.0.1.254/24 brd 10.0.1.255 scope global eth3 5: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000 link/ether 00:1e:8c:94:05:cd brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.0.254/24 brd 192.168.0.255 scope global eth0 6: ppp0: <POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1492 qdisc pfifo_fast state UNKNOWN qlen 3 link/ppp inet 90.187.57.21 peer 78.103.210.66/32 scope global ppp0 Any idea?
