I had exactly this behaviour with an Intel server based on a Nightshade motherboard. I was completely nonplussed until someone on this list told me about it. If this is your problem, it should disappear when your cables are connected to both networks. In the meantime, check if IP forwarding is turned on in the kernel: cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward 1 is on, 0 is off. If it's 1, turn it off by: echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward Check if it's turned on by sysctl at system startup. Read /etc/sysctl.conf and look for a line like: net/ipv4/ip_forward=1 If there is one, comment it out.
