Hello,

Carambola has two lan ports. But not two network-Cards!?

ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.4 up
-> works
ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.4 up
-> ifconfig: SIOCSIFADDR: No such device

Why?

my actual problem is.

i have configured carambola to use two static ips.

lanLeft 1.248 (eth0:1)
and
lanRight 1.249 (eth0:2)

i can connect via ssh to lanLeft.

But then i can not ping a device with ip 1.250 that is connected to lanRight. Why?

help appreciated...

Well, the Carambola has one network device and an internal HUB, that's why you don't get eth0 and eth1.

Are you trying to ping the 1.250 from the Carambola or from another host connected to the other LAN port?
Either way you need to properly set your routing information if you've got two ports in the same network with different machines reachable through it.
This is not considered a proper network configuration, you would either use different IP ranges, or use subnetting.
However, to resolve the problem in your current configuration you'll have to manuall edit the routing information. You need to add a route to 1.250 that goes over your rightLan interface. After that you'll have to exclude the 1.250 from the routing of your leftLan. For all of this you can use the command "route" on the console.

how can i delete this?

i stoped, disabled firewall just in case....
