The eth0 has 192.168.0.253 and the eth1 will reveice an address 192.168.0.xxx. You will have to set your eth0 to another range, maybe like 192.168.1.253. There is a good explanation of this problem in this topic. Best regards!

I've done a lot of search at the weekend, so i changed my configuration: /etc/network/interfaces #X1P1 auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.253 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.0.1 #auto eth1 #iface eth1 inet dhcp #X2P1 auto eth1 iface eth1 inet static address 192.168.200.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 The IOT is connected over eth0 with the router (192.168.0.1). I connected to the IOT over the router, everything works fine. BUT the result is the same... i can ping 8.8.8.8, but i get a bad address on "google.com". I think, it's a DNS problem. If i add "nameserver 8.8.8.8" to /etc/resolv.conf", ich can "ping www.google.com"... but after a reboot, the resolv.conf is empty. ifconfig: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr E0:DC:A0:17:2B:05 inet addr:192.168.0.253 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::e2dc:a0ff:fe17:2b05%134535671/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:532 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:477 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:51813 (50.5 KiB) TX bytes:67227 (65.6 KiB) Interrupt:34 Base address:0xc000 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr E0:DC:A0:17:2B:06 inet addr:192.168.200.1 Bcast:192.168.200.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::e2dc:a0ff:fe17:2b06%134535671/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:6 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:508 (508.0 B) Interrupt:35 Base address:0xc000 Any ideas?!
