Actually the initial idea of putting the 2 NICS on mashine GOOFY was:
GOOFY
(192.168.1.1)eth0 eth1(192.168.2.1)
/ \
/ \
(192.168.1.2) MICKEY MINI (192.168.2.2)
..that MICKEY has 'direct contact' to MINI. After realizing that
putting all eth's on one subnet didn't work, I used the above
IPnumbers and all mashines are able to ping each other by the
appropiate IP number but:
MICKEY can ping GOOFY because of using the local C:\windows\hosts
MINI can ping GOOFY because of using the local /etc/hosts
But GOOFY cannot ping MICKEY or MINI by name although GOOFY's
/etc/hosts containes:
#file /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.domain
192.168.1.1 GOOFY.ORION.DE GOOFY
194.25.2.129 t-online.de t-online
192.168.2.2 MINI.ORION.DE MINI
192.168.1.2 MICKEY.ORION MICKEY
and :

...which looks quite nicely.
Could you help to clarify?
