Here it comes:
The installation was as usual to the point of network settings. Then:
1) A list of NICs was presented were I have chosen 3C905.
2) On the next window it asked me if I want to autoprobe. I've
selected "yes"
3) A message appeared: Found 3C905 interfaces. Do you have another
one?
I've selected "NO".
4) Next window with local network settings on interface eth0 with
default settings.
I've selected all default.
5) The a list appeared where I've selected cable network configuration
7) List with the cards again as in step 1, step 2, step 3.
6) IP/DNS/Gateway configuration for eth0 appeared again. Don't know
why? I didn't change anything
7) IP/DNS/Gateway configuration for eth1 appeared. Configured eth1 to
be the internet device.
Actually, after 2-3 installs and some poking around, I've managed to
get the right installation. the difference was that I've selected YES
in the step 3. Then the window with default settings for eth0 did not
appear and I was prompted to enter the values myself.
As I said in the previous message the interface for the network
devices configuration is very confusing. I've spoken to two friends of
mine and they also have found it confusing. Bear in mind that we are
not that much Linux gurus. Although I was on and off Linux field since
1997. So, may be it's just us...
Cheers,
Dima

Can you exactly describe us all steps you've done during the network
install process ?
IP address, DNS Address......
