IP on Multiple LAN Cards

[neandero]

my settings inside /etc/network/interfaces are:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 123.123.123.22
netmast 255.255.255.248
gateway 123.123.123.17


only one network will work at a time.
even adding the below line:


route add default gw 123.123.123.17
--OR--
route add default gw 192.168.5.254

What can be done to make both networks work at the same time??

thanks,

Hello


When you add your default gateway as one or the other then all traffic will go to that device


I guess what you may be looking for is split access
