Thread: 2 Ethernet Cards

  1. 2 Ethernet Cards

    Hi,

    my server was working fine with ONE ethernet card

    I just add a second card
    Installation seems to be OK
    IP address on a different network (but nothing connected yet)

    Now, I lost all my connection !!!!
    There is no Firewall at the moment (No Iptables...)

    In fact, if I open Mozilla, I cannot connect to internet.
    If I disable the second card (eth1) -> Go back on line !!!

    How, can I make sure that any application will use eth0 and NOT eth1 ???
    How the selection is done ?
    (Because if Mozilla is selecting eth1, that will, obviously, never work
    out :-(

    grep "^GATEWAY=" /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/if*eth[01]

    Make sure that only the preferred file (in your case ifcfg-eth0) contains
    the GATEWAY=ip.add.re.ss parameter, then "/etc/init.d/network restart".
