So on this one, I did the usual:
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
Set the the second card with a "dummy" address, and added it to the route, so:
#> route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.100.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
132.228.132.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
0.0.0.0 132.228.132.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
Where eth0 is the "official" address & card, and eth1 is the second card.
Then I plugged in a box, using a crossover cable.
That "should" work.
No go. Does RH 8.0 block this by default now?
What did I miss?
(I hate it when the simple ones get by me... sheesh! It HAS to be Monday...)
Thanks again!

All;
I need a simple way to just "pass packets". I have 3 devices, and two network drops. (yeah, same old story). My RH 8.0 box has two nics in it, so I thought I could set one up to just play "dumb hub", and pass packets to one of the the other boxes. Both boxes have, and need, static IPs. (the extra NIC is currently unassigned, and unused, so I can do anything with it).
Is there a "simple" way to do this? I don't need any firewalling, or IP masq'ing, or any of that. It just needs to play hub, and pass packets.
Thank you!
Ric
