This would apper to be the problem the setup that you describe to start

they can both talk to the outside world.

Should be dead easy further details on the cards would help thou (ISA /
PCI / PnP) I think that the 3com is ISA, and the Intel ee is also ISA
which may cause problems but mail me back and I will have a look at it
tomorrow.
