Connectivity between two ethernet interfaces

[Anonymous]

Im configuring a G4/400 Mac OS X Server with two ethernet interfaces/adaptors (both 100/10 first ´en0ª built-in, second ´en1ª assantÈ on PCI slot 3) both interfaces have its own tcp address and configuration, both have assignated its own network port. I have runned geekrouter, but I CANT access to the second port address devices. I mean, if I choose ´en1ª on the top of ´Network Port Configurationª (Network Preference Pane) I can see this net, and if I, indeed, choose ´en0ª on the top of ´Network Port Configurationª I can see that net. BUT I CANT never see both nets. I cant connect to any device/address of the second port of the list. I though with a router I could make a solution, I tried to config through ipfw on terminal too, but, is sure, Im doing something bad.

WTF is geekrouter?

What you describe has to be some issue with geekrouter since every machine in my network is running dual-NICs and none of them have any problem – I can access the IP address of either NIC without problem.

If geekrouter is a command-line tool, it may want a switch to tell it which interface to connect to. Many network tools operate like this, including the venerable ping and traceroute. In these cases they always use the default interface unless you add a switch with the appropriate interface to use, e.g.:

ping <host> — pings the specified host

ping -i en1 <host> — ping the host via en1
