Hi Alex, I have this motherboard with two network cards onboard, I loaded RH7.3. When I was installing RH, the OS found the two cards(nic), I set them up with two different IP addresses and all the necessary information for our network. Ounce I finished the installation, I tested eth0 by going in the internet, which it work nicely, then I tried the same thing with eth1(I unpluged the cable from eth0 and plugged into eth1). After a minute or two I got a message saying it didn't find the site or server maybe be down and try later or something like that. Basically, I want to test that both cards work and I thought going in the internet was the best test for the network cards. when you say: "There exists exactly one route to your default gateway, either eth0 or eth1, not both." it means that I can only use one network card to go in the internet? is that right? Remember I am still learning linux. Thanks againg.

If you enter an address from the internet (as opposed to an address inside your LAN), the packets will be sent to your default gateway. There exists exactly one route to your default gateway, either eth0 or eth1, not both. Please describe a bit more exactly what you want to do.
