Re: ARP shows client is given wrong MAC Address for system with 2 NICs

[Q A <qarce_mail_lists@yahoo.com>]

Thanks, but I am not moving the IP from one to the
other.  I am just saying it doesn't matter _(A) does
not have to be eth0.  Try setting up a system with 2
NICs and follow my notes.  I have checked another
system with a normal 2.4.3 kernel.

Thanks for yours and everyone elses help.
