Not able to ping two ethernet interfaces connected using cross cable in same PC.

Hi Team,

    I want to test ethernet driver for NIC, I have only one PC with two
different NICs(for both drivers are different), So I disabled loopback and
connected both the NICs using cross cable. Output of "ifconfig" is
displaying both the interfaces and ip address is also set for both the
interfaces.
    I executed following to set ip address :
#ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
#ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.5 netmask 255.255.255.0
#ifconfig lo down

    After that I tried to execute following commands,
    #route add -net 192.168.0.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.0.5 dev
eth0
    #route add -net 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.0.1 dev
eth1
but those comands are giving error like :
" route: netmask doesn't match route address"

    I also put "1" in ip_forward file.

I am not able to ping anyone of those interfaces using ping command.

Can anyone give some inputs on this?

Thanks,
Bhavesh.
