> Again.. I am just curious as to why some do it one way.. and some the > other... the above is only MY opinion, and could be dreadfully wrong :) Well, i never care for which is internal or external, sometimes i set up eth1 as external, sometimes it's eth0 or ppp0. What is funny, on my experimentalbox i have the network with default route on eth1, and eth0 is connected to a roaming port in a 3com corebuilder (== i get a copy of the whole Internet<->LAN traffic), it's unusual, and i very often have to reconfigure programs that make this assumption that eth0 is the Internet interface. I take it as totally free to choose, and propably random. Anyway i alwyas refer to interfaces as EXT, INT, not their names. Regards, Maciej Soltysiak
