I have just installed a 2nd NIC in my Ubuntu v6.06 system and the 2nd NIC (eth1) is giving me this error when I try to ping:

PING 192.168.1.10 (192.168.1.10) 56(84) bytes of data.
ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted

eth0 is working fine. I've swapped the cabling around and it is fine too.

my ifconfig is:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:40:F4:72:A2:69

my route table is:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.2.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
default 192.168.2.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1

The route table is a bit odd because I've been messing with it trying to get it to work.

I'm no Linux expert and I know just enough about networking to be dangerous so any help is very much appreciated.

Thanks

It seems that Firestarter is the culprit. If I turn the firewall off everything works fine. I'm not sure that Firestarter supports multiple network cards where all of them are able to access the Internet. Anyone know of a firewall that will work in my configuration?
