Each network interface needs it's own (distinguishably ? what a word :)
IP address, so it knows which packets to take and for you to know what
address to send them to.
My /etc/networks/interfaces:
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.0.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
