Network Trouble

["Clisson Pierre" <pierre@clisson.org>]

Hello everybody,

I have troubles with my network.

I'm dedicating an old machine to be a router/firewall.
It's a p75 with 3 network cards:
- eth0, PCI (eepro100) -> external interface
- eth1, ISA (ne) -> LAN
- eth2, ISA (3c509) -> DMZ

I put this into my /etc/network/interfaces for eth0:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.1
network 192.168.1.0
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.254 (this is the IP of my DSL modem/router)

I can't ping the gateway with eth0 nor with eth2, but the same config works
with eth1.
I'm sure that the network cards work properly, as I installed woody by the
network using eth0 trought DHCP.
I can't see where is the problem.

Two little things whom I don't know if they link to my problem :

- ifconfig eth0 gives me this line:

UP BROADCAST MULTICAST : there's not "RUNNING"

- cat /proc/pci shows me this:

5:	1	XT-PIC	NE2000
9:	4021	XT-PIC	eth0
10:	0	XT-PIC	eth2

I don't know if there is a links, but i have the name of the driver instead
of eth1, and eth1 is the only interface which works...

Some ideas ?

Thanks in advance,

Pierre.
