eth0 goes to the router - works, because another linux box is just doing fine
on IP masqueradingeth1 goes to local network
(so looks indeed pretty much the same)

Here is (hopefully) some useful information:********** ifconfig ************

When i try to ping the internal network, it is OK - ping 192.168.42.99
(another host)
When I try to ping 209.115.168.25 (the router - ISDN to ISP) nothing happens
= 100% packets lost
The funniest thing too is that the card seems to be dead - no lights (the one
of the external network eth0 - while eth1 is on)
Another funny thing is, when I do a reinstall with RedHat 5.1 = no tweaking
whatsoever (apart from inserting the eth1 in /etc/conf.modules) - and that
just works fine.
Thanks for your help
Herman
