Hi, I tried the suggested changes but it still is not able to communicate. How do I check whether packets are not being blocked by ipchains/iptables ?
I had one more question. To eth2 I have given the addr. 192.168.0.13 and to eth3, 192.168.0.14. Since eth3 is also given a 192.168.0 network addr., during startup the routing table has the following entry for eth3 Destination Gateway Genmask ------ iface 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 eth3 I have to manually delete this entry and make the destination 192.168.1.0. Cant I do this permanently ? Many thanks, rahul.
