The system in question has its primary NIC on one particular network and a default route to the gateway on that network and all of that works fine. I needed the system to communicate fully on two different networks so we enabled the second interface card and it works on that second subnet. You can connect to hosts there and hosts on that network see the new interface. The problem is that it doesn't know anything about the router on that second network. I don't want it to loose the default router but it needs to be fully connected from the second interface as it is a name server and it is about to move from one network to the other. I enabled the second interface as follows: ifconfig fxp1 inet 192.168.1.13 netmask 255.255.255.0 Is the route add command what I need to cause that interface to speak to the router and to hear packets addressed to it from that router? The routing issue seems to be the only connectivity problem that the second interface has. Thank you.
