hi while i am working on FreeBSD5.0, my system has configured with two ethernet cards which was i need. and my system ethernet cards configuration are fxp0 : ip : 10.1.6.160/24 fxp1: ip 10.1.6.161/24 default gateway : ip : 10.1.6.1 gateway and routed was enabled . i am able to ping locally to the card fxp0( 10.1.6.160)interface, but not to fxp1 (10.1.6.161) interface. as this testing was done without connecting network, 1).. If i connected two interfaces (fxp0 and fxp1)to network then we are able to ping locally as well as in the network. 2). If i coonected one interface(fxp0) to network , we are able to ping fxp0(10.1.6.160) in the network as well as locally., but not to fxp1(10.1.6.161) in either cas. 3)I f i coonected one interface(fxp1) to network, we are not able to ping both (fxp0 and fxp1) in the noetwork. but able to ping locally to only fxp0.. 4) and i have placed fxp0 ip as the gateway for fxp1, then i am able to ping fxp1 locally.. those are all the case that i have tesetd.....? what might be the problem? and i want to forward the packets from one interface to another interface on network. our setup is freebsd system having two ethernet cards... one ethenet card is connected to one host and another ehternet card is connected to another host k, now i am unable to ping from one host to another host thru these ethernet cards. these two hosts and free BSD system are in the same network. so that was the problem, is it possible with freeBSD ? if yes , what could be the neceessary things to be take care? what are all the steps i have to follow to make this packet forwrding enable? please help me, i will be greateful to u for your response....... thank Q sridhar To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
