Is the physical infrastructure working? (Are all the cables connected, do you have the right blinky lights everywhere?) If that all works, what do 'ifconfig eth0' and 'route -n' say? > eth1 (Ethernet connected to my LAN) > IP 10.0.0.1 > DNS 192.168.1.1 > Gateway 192.168.1.43 > Subnet 255.0.0.0 "Gateway" isn't something you want to define on more than one interface; if you do define it, if needs to be an address on the same network (so, in this case, a 10.x.x.x address). How exactly are you specifying "gateway" and "DNS" here? It looks like the setup you want is: -- eth0 is on 192.168.1.43/24 -- eth1 is on 10.0.0.1/8 -- The default route is via 192.168.1.1 (on eth0) -- The DNS server is 192.168.1.43, which happens to be on eth0's network -- (Optional) ipmasq from eth1 to eth0 And none of the settings you've given so far contradict this. :-) -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
