Dear All

This is slightly off topic , but you guys have helped me with routing problems 
in the past, and I\'m at my wits end as to why this doesn\'t work.  If I can 
ever get this thing to work I\'ll have a real server for use with an existing 
LVS :-(

I\'m trying to set up a new real server.  It is a a dell 1650 server with two 
Intel Etherexpress/1000 NICS, running RH linux 7.3. One of the NICS is 
disabled. 

The problem is that I cant connect to anything when the box initiates the 
request. For example if I ping localhost or the server\'s own IP address I get 
a reply, but anything 
else, including other boxes on the same subnet and the GW just give 
host unreachable. 

I can connect to the box with SSH no problem and view web pages on Apache which 
is running on it (tho\' as soon as the box uses a page that connects to another 
server ie mail etc it fails). I can also ping the box from any other PC and 
receive a reply. 

Other boxes with exactly the same configuration (but different 
NICs/IP) work fine. 

I\'m sure the problem is with the network config, but can\'t see where the 
issue lies. I\'ve included the outputs from ifconfig and netstat -rn below.

Can anyone suggest either what I can do to fix this  or alternatively what can 
be done to further investigate this problem? Is there a way to isolate it, ie 
to confirm it\'s the NIC, driver etc. 

Many thanks 

Paul
