What is the output of ifconfig? Are you running both nic's simultaneously? It sounds like TCP is working (guarantees trans/rcv), while UDP/ICMP is not (no guarantee). Although I forget if mail is UDP or TCP. When I run multiple nic's at work, I have (luckily) always had to keep them on separate subnets. Makes this stuff a lot easier. If nothing turns up I would suggest getting one working with the other totally not present. Then get the other working on a different subnet. eg: eth0 192.168.1.x netmask 255.255.255.0 # 10/100 eth1 192.168.2.y netmask 255.255.255.0 # wireless HTH, Cooper. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
