the default gateway of the internal network is the eth1 with a static address 192.168.0.254.

Can you post the results of the "route" command from your system?

this is the result of arp
/sbin/arp

found the problem.. i replaced the eth1 card..(with the same type cnet pro200). and it is working now. it pinged . i can now proceed to my main objective.. to setup squid. . but first i have to know how to route so that my internal network i could be able to use the internet through this linux of MINE.. he he he..

this will become my linux saga. aaarrgghhh!

dalight, reaper thanks for the attention. by the way how could i be able to route these 2 nics?

the problem that i have now is... it seems i cant go beyond 192.168.1.11 (eth0). from my staton1 which is 192.168.0.69 i could ping 192.168.0.254 (eth1) and 192.168.1.11(eth0) and vice versa. the question is: why is it from the station1 i wont be able to ping the 192.168.1.1 which is the router/modem?

forgive me hope this thread might help others too.

You need to turn on ip_forward to use routing. You can do this in two ways, either a temporary solution or a permanent. You can use "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" but this will not be saved after a reboot. The other way is to edit /etc/sysctl.conf and set "net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1". This will be saved after a reboot, you migh need to use "sysctl -p" for the change to take effect. You also need to add a default route to your modem from the linux machine. You can do this with "route add default gw modem_ip". Hope this gives you some help.

Good luck.
