Hi,
Sorry if this has been asked before, but is there anyway to get more
than
1 network interface active at the same time ???. (Multi-homing I think
the
term is ???)
Yes.
As I have both Ethernet and Airport connections, but when I try to
ping
anything, the traffic always goes out the what ever is the top checked
port
within the network system preference (This is within MacOS-X normal,
i.e.
Not Server ).
If both network interfaces have addresses on the same subnet then your
traffic "should" go out the top checked port. If the interfaces are on
different subnets then any traffic destined for the local subnets will
be sent out the appropriate interface. Traffic destined off-network
will go to the default route (which tracks the top checked port).
They are both checked, and in the order Ethernet, Airport. I did
think at
one time if that the system worked if one wasn't available that the
next
port would become active, but that doesn't happen.
It should "just work".
