in CCNA & CCENT
is can I have two hosts directly connected to two seperate ethernet ports and 'talk' to each other?
I should not have to set static routes using the exit ethernet ports to accomplish this should I?
Could you give me a simple config to meditate on as this is driving me nuts!! Help is much appreciated!

i don't think you would, since the router would already know about each subnet.. but i'll test it for you.Fantastic. The project manager is inspired.

Did you set the default gateway on the hosts?An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made. -

i just did this, worked fine.

i can ping between each host.

The router itself is aware of directly connected networks, so does not need static routes for these. Depending on the routing protocol in use, it is aware of other networks not directly connected (say several hops away). A static route would be used for special circumstances usually.All things are possible, only believe.
