Description of problem: A customer's large Oracle server (10 nics, 2 onboard and 2- 4 port cards) He can use both eth0 and eth1 (the onboard cards) on the same network (172.13.36.0) but add any of the others and this problem occurs. I verified I see the same problem using single 4 port card on my 7.2 Alpha at home. When more than 2 nics are configured in the same subnet, all of the cards in that subnet stop working and the route -n looks like: Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 172.21.36.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth2 172.21.36.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth2 172.21.36.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 172.21.36.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 172.21.36.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1 I currently don't have the hardware to test this in 8.x

Well, for one, the GATEWAY in the network file is wrong. It should read: GATEWAY=172.21.36.1 although i doubt that this is the source of the problem. Unfortunately i don't have the hardware here either to reproduce the problem, so until i have this bug will have to wait. Read ya, Phil
If this bug still persists please reopen. Otherwise I'm closing this with WONTFIX
