I have 2 machines running centos. each machine has 2 network cards. Box 1: eth1: T1 connection 74.X.X.X eth0: office connection 192.X.X.X Box 2: eth1: Cable modem 24.X.X.X eth0: office connection 192.X.X.X How do I issue a route command on each box so it will use eth0 as the shortest route between the two boxes??? Thanks, Jerry -------------------- On Box1 the route is: [root at mndemo ~]# route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 74.X.X.X 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.240 U 0 0 0 eth1 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 0.0.0.0 74.X.X.X 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1 One Box 2 the route is: [root at unifiedpaging ~]# route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 24.X.X.X 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.248 U 0 0 0 eth1 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 0.0.0.0 24.X.X.X 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1
