If ethA has IP-A and is connected to net-A and ethB has IP-B and is connected to net-B, then forwarding is not necessary to connect to IP-A from net-A nor to IP-B from net-B Forwarding would be necessary to connect to IP-A from net-B or IP-B from net-A without taking a round trip, but it also requires that the router on the networks knows about it. > Besides, and judging from the paragraph quoted above, your box seems > to lose the route to the local network (192.168.xxx.xxx) once the > other is connected. If this is true, then this is the issue and forwarding is irrelevant. Regards, -- Nicolas George
