2nd address on connection

I am trying to setup a 2nd external address on my astaro siystem. It seems happy on my local network space however when I try to connect from the outside world to the nic, I get a big fat nothing. It's like my isp is blocking traffic on some of my interfaces.

Any easy way to prove this?

On my cablemodem, I have to powercycle it everytime I change what it's plugged into (Astaro, PC, router, whatever) to clear the arp cache.

Wait. Are you trying to access your external IP from inside your network?
ASL has a problem with this. Anytime you want to test external access through your ASL box, you need to check it from another internet connection or be behind a router (like a linksys), it "bounces" your traffic back to the external interface and appears as though it originated at the router.

From a external address, I am trying to test smpt, dns, and other port rediredcts. Does not work on any virtual nic execpt the primary one with the gateway.

I have put a PC on another public IP, but within my public subnet and it can talk to both address just fine. I have tried with 1 nic and with 2 niics. The problem really appears to be upstream from but I don't know where.

Hi,
How did you set up the default routing on the ASL box. A problem may be that ASL accept only a single default gateway, and you are not able (or at least me without hacking) to set up a Routing for multiple uplinks/providers. Basically if you get two external link you sould get the traffic coming to link A back routed to link A and the traffic from link B routed back to link B (http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Adv-Routing-HOWTO/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html) and this can not be set up over the webadmin.
