Anyone else care to take a stab at why my rh 8 box with 2 nics cannot talk to each other. I'll try anything. eth0 can ping itself eth1 can ping itself eth0 can ping eth1 eth1 CANNOT ping eth0 ip_forward has been set to 1 The only odd thing I can find is the absence of messages at startup regarding eth0 - could be normal since eth0 can ping the other nic and also other boxes. [root@redfish root]# tail -400 /var/log/messages|grep -i eth1 Jun 24 10:16:01 redfish network: Bringing up interface eth1: succeeded Jun 24 13:57:10 redfish network: Bringing up interface eth1: succeeded [root@redfish root]# tail -400 /var/log/messages|grep -i eth0 [root@redfish root]# I appreciate any and all help on this problem.
