Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use 
Iface
65.10.71.198    0.0.0.0         255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 eth0
192.168.1.1     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 eth1
192.168.100.0   192.168.100.1   255.255.255.0   UG    0      0        0 eth1
192.168.1.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth1
192.168.1.0     192.168.1.1     255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth1
0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 eth0
0.0.0.0         65.10.71.198    0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0

see there are a lot of useless rules here, and make it doesn't work.

my ip 65.10.71.198
gateway 65.10.71.129
OS RH 6.2

I guess I need only these:

Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use 
Iface
192.168.1.0     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         65.10.71.198    0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0

Do I need this?
24.10.20.43     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 eth0
192.168.0.0     192.168.0.1     255.255.255.0   UG    0      0        0 eth1

Can I assign a network address to a NIC? e.x. assign 192.168.1.0 to a NIC?
