<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I;ve trixbox installed with 2 NICs. One NIC carries the
MPLS-VPN traffic (only a 1 MB link without internet for carrying voice to
another site) while the other NIC has a connection with public IP for internet services
on that machine.</span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">the first NIC (eth0) has IP of 172.16.0.1 and is connected
to router with WAN IP: 10.18.6.254 , the second IP is 203.234.82.98 (eth1). i
want to have the internet access to this machine at all times as i need to pull
out reports etc.</span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Problem : both NICs dont work together i.e i have to do
ifdown eth0 to ping <a href="http://yahoo.com" target="_blank">yahoo.com</a> (via second nic) and i have to do ifup eth0 and
ifdown eth1 to ping the router IP of MPLS VPN that is 10.18.6.254. The
resolve.conf has nameservers of both ISP as well as MPLS - VPN that the
provider gave. I get a Request timed out if i try to keep both interfaces up
and do a ping to either public internet or router of mpls</span></font></p>

</div><br></blockquote><div>It is probably routing and your default gateway.
