A bit more info... I have my 3c590 driver compiled into
my 2.2.14 kernel but the tulip driver for my netgear
is a module. My 3com card is eth0 and the netgear would
be/was (I removed the card and rebooted to be able to
reconnect to the net and post) eth1.
I have a dynamic IP from uswest on my DSL but my box
is 10.0.0.2 and the DSL router is 10.0.0.1 internally -
to the world, my _router_ has whatever IP uswest assigns.
I do not really know where to start here. Not that it
matters but my desktop runs 24/7 - my IP probably remains
the same most of the time though I don't know for sure (I can
never determine what my DSL router's IP address actually is.
Everything I've tried to determine it always gives me back
the "internal" network IP of 10.0.0.1 for the router and
10.0.0.2 for my desktop). What the outer world sees as my
IP I don't know.

Well, I am not sure how to set 2 eth devices but I know it is possible.
possibly :
alias eth1 ethmodule.o
with the right options there.
Make sure the second card is NOT using dhcp : your server might not
like having 2 requests from the same client :=)
What you might try :
- move away any /etc/sysconfig/network-script/ifcfg-eth1
(assuming eth1 is your second card)
- put your second card in and see if it is working
- run /sbin/ifconfig eth1 "my_private_ip" netmask 255.255.255.0
you will have to use a private network to do what you want.
you can pick addresses like.
192.168.0.x
for your desktop
and
192.168.0.y
for your laptop
After that, and if it works, you will have to use "ipchains"
to masquerade your private ips .
If it doesn't work, look at what ifconfig says about IRQS and IOs for both
cards
