Hi,

I have a Linux machine (Redhat 7.1, Kernel 2.4.2) with two RL2000 network cards, one is connected to my ISP's network and one to my Lan (IP=192.168.1.5). The problem is that, immediately after the machine starts up, I am able to ping to the linux machine from other local machine, but after a gap of 10-15 minuts if I have tried to ping to the machine's 'Local IP', it will fail. But at the same time I am able to ping to the machine's external IP address. I am able to ping to the other local machines from the Linux machine!!! Additionally I have removed the LokKit from the machine and upgraded the Kernel to 2.4.18 (latest). But that too failed. Could someone please advice me what could be wrong with the machine?

Thanks
Sudheer.
