2 nics in the same machine...

[RANDAZZO]

I have connected two nics in the same machine with a null modem cable...

I have configured nic 1 to be 156.15.16.1 and nic 2 to be 156.15.16.2

I have adjusted the routes so that nic 1 routes to nic 2 and vice versa...

how come when I ping 156.15.16.1 it does not go out nic 2...

am I missing something?

Regards,
Mike

Yes. The ping packet is already at it's destination.
