Host: request time out on 1 NIC .. success on other

first posting .. forum won't allow me to post IPs so I can't post ifconfig info.


RH 5.6
why can my windows 7 PC ping my Linux server on the NIC 0 which has an IP set by DHCP

but fail (timeout) on NIC 1 which has a fixed IP address?


I try to post more info but the forum won't allow anything with numbers (until I've posted 15 times)


I can ping from other windows and other linux boxes to fixed IP.. only on the Window 7 does it fail

Hello and welcome!

It's not numbers that the forum software disallows, but things like http, ftp, and @ that it won't allow until you've made at least 15-posts. You can check the following thread for some temporary workarounds to the 15-posts requirement:

i've tried to paste in the output of ifconfig but forum doesn't allow it
