Lines above are something to be expected, because your /etc/network/interfaces tells the kernel to do the impossible: > iface eth0 inet static > address 192.168.1.7 > netmask 255.255.255.0 > network 192.168.1.0 > broadcast 192.168.1.255 > gateway 192.168.1.1 You have default gateway for eth0. All is good so far. > iface eth1 inet static > address 192.168.2.8 > netmask 255.255.255.0 > network 192.168.2.0 > broadcast 192.168.2.255 > gateway 192.168.1.1 And - you have yet another default gateway for eth1. No wonder that the kernel refuses to add the same route second time. Reco
