For sure. Donald's MINI HOWTO save my rear a week ago. It is an excellent work and should help solve your problem.
Aaron: You might want to look at Donald Becker's MINI-HOWTO on multi ethernet cards in one box. The link is below.

I received many helpful replies but I still was unable to isolate the problem. Basically, my machine has two ethernet cards, eth0 and eth1, with eth0 connected to a cable modem and eth1 connected to a LAN via an ethernet hub. I was unable to communicate using TCP/IP with any of the other computers on my LAN. Today as a last resort I tried to switch the cables; eth0 is now connected to the cablemodem and eth1 is connected to the LAN. Then, I was able to reach the LAN, but not the cablemodem. This led me to believe that there is a problem with eth1. It is a LinkSys Ether16 10BaseT ISA LAN card (Ne2000 compatible). The card is PnP, so I had to use isapnp to configure it, but initially I thought it was working fine because it is detected at boot-up. Today, after switching eth1 back to the LAN hookup, I rebooted and immediately did "ifconfig": eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:40:05:70:79:0A inet addr:192.168.100.101 Bcast:192.168.100.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:11 Base address:0x240 (For brevity I have omitted the eth0 and lo output). I then tried to ping 192.168.100.84 (one of the other computers on my LAN), which didn't work, and typed "ifconfig" again. eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:40:05:70:79:0A inet addr:192.168.100.101 Bcast:192.168.100.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:1 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:11 Base address:0x240 The only difference is that "errors" is now 1 rather than 0. I am at a loss as to what to do; again, eth0 works perfectly whether it is talking to the cablemodem or LAN, but eth1 doesn't seem to want to talk to either. (Both cards work fine with Win 98). Can anyone tell me why eth1 is detected and seems to initialize properly, but is unable to function? Are there any other diagnostics I can do to figure out what's going on?
