Angry I have installed 3 nic, but only one can "ping" other machine, why?


My server (it has 2-CPU) has two Intel Gigabit netcard, and I added a DFE-530TX netcard, the OS is Redhat AS 2.1, their IP are 192.168.3.100, 192.168.3.101, 192.168.3.102 respectively. Only when the 192.168.3.102 was link to network, I can ping 192.168.3.138( other machine ), other two nic can not do so.
I have edited /etc/modules.conf and /etc/sysconfig/networ-scripts/ifcfg-ethN, but the problem can not be resolved.

When I typed route command, it displays following:

Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.3.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth2
192.168.3.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
192.168.3.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth2
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
default my.router 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0

Anybody can help me?

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.

3 NICs

Think about it. It you are a program on your machine, and want to send stuff out to the internet, how do you know which card to use? The only way to use multiple NICs is to manually configure the routes so that each one serves a different range of IP addresses.

So, a firewall machine would have one NIC only serving 192.168.x.x addresses, and the other everything else.

Unless you have such a situation, I would shut the other cards off. Thatt's what I do. Just becasue you have multiple NICs does not mean you should use them!
