Are you sure it worked once the second network card was configured? Are you using the --from IP.Address.Of.Nic.You.Want.To.Use flag when starting XWin.exe? Failing that, have a look at Alexander Gottwald's ls_netdev at http://www-usercgi.tu-chemnitz.de/~goal/xfree/ at it may help diagnose the problem (assuming that it is something to do with the network card and not something else). > I'm baffled now as to what happened.
