If I have multiple interfaces set up, including ppp interfaces,
how do I tell ping which interface to use?
I know that there's an "-I <interface address>" option, but what
kind of address is that?
Thanks,
Sherif

As for the -i option....I don't think it works (or I never could get it to
work).

It should be 'ping -I ppp0 *.ms.com' or 'ping -I eth0 server.local.com'
You can look at you interface name by typing 'ifconfig'.
Hope it helps.

Thanks for the reply...Quote:> The routing table will determine which interface to use. So, if

See, the problem is that the interfaces that I setup come up and
down very rapidly...so I can't keep changing my routing
tables :)
It's all in that -I option...Ronny: -I ppp0 or -I eth0 does not
work. It needs something else. I just don't know what.

1. A pings B, B pings C, C cannot ping A
In our small network, we have several w9x clients, a w2k server and a
linux server. To date, integration of these has been going ok. However,
today, we brought up some clients that cannot ping to the linux server
(all of this by IP address), but they can ping to the w2k server, which
are physically next to each other, and connect to the same switch. There
have been no problems with communication between the linux system, w2k
system and other computers on site. The clients use dhcp on the w2k
server to get their ip addresses. The only issues that I can think of at
this time is that the problem systems are on the longest runs from the
hub, which appear to be a little over the 100m line, and the linux and
w2k units (probably) have different nics. Can anybody out there shed
some light on this situation?
Thanks,
