It depends on your routing configuration where the packets go to. Could you send the output of ip route show -- or -- route -n ifconfig -a You can send the infos to me personally if you do not want them to appear on the web. > > Isn't point 3. a reasonable demand?

How do I ensure that the > src ip address of packages running through eth1 of host A is 10.0.0.1? > Depending on your configuration, they should. However, it depends on your host configuration, i.e. where packets are sent from. Usually, your host-name is resolved for the IP address (IIRC). Thus, the node itself is identified by one IP address only. Can you send the tcpdump -i eth1 for a couple of simple pings? wbr, Lukas -- Lukas Ruf | Wanna know anything about raw | <http://www.lpr.ch> | IP? <http://www.rawip.org> | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
