newbie: Networking

[Peter Holm]

Hello.   I will use two small industrial PC:s in an application. The computers has both two ethernet ports. eth0 and eth1. I got problems when i configured them in /etc/network/interfaces. My first config was to set up both eth0 and eth1 on the same network: 10.0.0.0 at IP:s 10.0.0.50 and 10.0.0.51 for the first computer and 10.0.0.60 and 10.0.0.61 for the second one.   My problem seemed to be that the traffic was routed thru eth0 or eth1 randomly after every reboot. As i'm going to hook up work cameras to eth1 on both computers i must somehow configure the interfaces differently to be able to establish any contact with the cameras.   Therefore i set up /etc/network/interfaces to let eth1 use a completly different network, which will guaretee me the traffic between the camera and the computer uses eth1 and not eth0. Lets say i use the 192.168.0.0 network for the camera - computer comms. and the 10.0.0.0 network for the computer - computer comms.   Now, as the camera has a built in webserver for configuration. It must be accessible from the 10.0.0.0 network as well. I guess that meens i have to route traffic from the 10.0.0.0 network to the 192.168.0.0 network and here is where my knowledge betrays me.   I hope you understand what my problem is, beeing a swedish guy trying to describe my problems in english isn't very easy, especially when it comes to technical english.   best regards Peterh.
