Hi, I have an Ultra2 with 2 NICs connected to 2 different networks and it routes without any problem. The 2 NICs have the same MAC address, because Linux doesn't recognise the local-mac-address? switch. To be able to route with ipchains, you first need to configure the box as a router by setting /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward to 1. Once you have done that, you still need to enable the FORWARD rule in ipchains. I can't remember the exact syntax, but you should be able to find it on the net.
Good luck and I hope this helps, Bertrand. --- Irvin Probst <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Thu, 2003-08-14 at 06:27, Patrick Morris wrote: > > "why would ifconfig show the same MAC addresses > unless there was a problem?" > > > > This is standard Sun behavior, and can be changed > from the OBP (ok prompt) using > > "setenv local-mac-address? true" > > Or if you have a hme NIC you can specify it when > loading the module, eg: > modprobe sunhme macaddr=0x8,0x0,0x20,0x42,0x69,0x12 > > -- > Irvin Probst > There are 10 types of people in the world... those > who understand binary > and those who don't. > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
