Re: Re: Problem with multiple ethernet interfaces

["Mostafa" <mostafa@nospam.com>]

OK I have fixed it. I will explain what I did

I had to manually add routes between the two subnets

route add -net 10.5.5.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0

route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth1

That's it

Thanks Bob for your input
