Yes, it can be done.  From your symptoms, I'd suspect some sort of hardware
in-compatibility with the newly added NIC.  Are they ISA cards (with
potentially conflicting I/O & IRQ settings) or PCI?  Some PCI cards don't
gracefully support more than one of the same card in the same box.

You may also simply have a problem identifying which card is which.  When
adding new cards, the numbering of your old network interfaces can change,
so you could simply have the networks physically wired up incorrectly.
Exactly which card is seen first is a complex interaction of the motherboard
(PCI slot numbering), the order you load the drivers, and finally, the
driver itself (which has to number multiple cards of the same type).  A
change in any of these can cause the ethernet device numbering to change.

Short of guessing which NIC is which, the 100% accurate way to identify
which NIC is eth0, eth1, etc is to look at their MAC addresses.  The MAC is
usually listed on the card somewhere (it's a 6 byte long number, sometimes
the bytes are seperated by colons).  You can see which MAC address linux has
associated with each ethernet device by doing an "ip addr" command...the 6
bytes following "link/ether" are the MAC address.
