Networking problem in Linux-2.4.10

[Joerg Pommnitz]

Hi List,
I have the following setup:
One host with two interfaces (eth0, eth1):

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:E0:4C:71:05:92
          inet addr:10.1.12.87  Bcast:10.1.12.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::2e0:4cff:fe71:592/10 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:4512 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:4034 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
          RX bytes:345507 (337.4 Kb)  TX bytes:407841 (398.2 Kb)
          Interrupt:11 Base address:0x5000

eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:E0:4C:71:05:91
          inet addr:10.1.12.151  Bcast:10.1.12.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::2e0:4cff:fe71:591/10 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:2709 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:16 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
          RX bytes:239132 (233.5 Kb)  TX bytes:2646 (2.5 Kb)
          Interrupt:10 Base address:0x7000

when I do 
ping -I eth0 10.1.12.151
I don't get a reply but ARP requests like this:

19:23:59.219402 arp who-has 10.1.12.151 tell 10.1.12.87
19:24:00.219402 arp who-has 10.1.12.151 tell 10.1.12.87
19:24:01.219402 arp who-has 10.1.12.151 tell 10.1.12.87
19:24:02.219402 arp who-has 10.1.12.151 tell 10.1.12.87

So the host tries to resolve its own MAC address and does
not answer itself. Manually setting the ARP entry fails
as well.

Question: Should this work at all? If yes, is there a fix?

Regards
  Jörg
