Herman,
It seems odd that your not even seeing a light on the eth0 to show that it
is connected. That seems to be your main problem. You might want to check
when your using RedHat 5.1 what IRQ and IO address the cards are using. My
dual 3C905b's share IRQ 9. If 5.1 is setting it different you might want to
put the settings in your conf.modules on Mandrake.
Also are you using DHCP on eth0 or setting it static?
Are you trying to set it up so that your local net goes through eth0?
If so.
Couple things I would check is to make sure you have routing turned on. You
can get to it through linuxconf under "Networks/Routing and gateways/set
defaults" Make sure "Enable Routing" is checked.
Here is a very basic ipchains example to get your eth1 local net to forward
through to eth0.
ipchains -P forward DENY
ipchains -A forward -i eth0 -j MASQ
