Hi, Bydefault system usually takes one of the gateway address as default. But in your case since both NIC's has different subnets system gets confused while forwading the traffic. You would neet to configure routes for only one NIC. other one would be taken as default.( Usually the one which is activated later or as per your configuration) On Wed, Aug 4, 2010 at 8:08 PM, Paul Crittenden <paul.crittenden@xxxxxxxxxxx > wrote: > I have a server which has 2 nics and different IP addresses and different > subnets for each nic. > > When I first set up the server I gave each nic its own gateway but > discovered a problem that the gateway for the second nic is used as the > default route.
