In that >case, there would be no way of determining through which interface >(and hence on which wire) a packet destined to 194.90.1.17 would go. No..they are both on same wire..Setting them on different wires really does not makes much use and creates a whole bunch of troubles.On the same wire this has one simple use: the primary card is 3com509-it is fastest card i ever seen and gives throughput to 700-800Kb/s which is pretty good,but it lacks completely promiscuous mode so to run tcpdump & friends i have NE2000-it is slow as hell but it is ok for tcpdump purposes..:) -- -=Ugen J.S.Antsilevich=- NetVision - Israeli Commercial Internet | Learning E-mail: ugen@NetVision.net.il | To Fly.
