Hi All,

          I am doing some experiments with my network driver. I have 2 N/W cards in one system and they are connected to each other by a cross cable. I want to transmit data from one card to another to check the driver. I have given address to cars like this 198.63.42.20 and 198.63.42.21 . But if i ping 198.63.42.20 or 198.63.42.21 pinging is happening through loopback device. How i can avoid this and make the data go through the real hardware?

How and when it understands the address is local and associates the loopback device for trasmission?


Thanks in Advance
Rajesh
