Two NICs

["Sridhar M.A." <mas@uomphysics.net>]

Hello,

I have two network cards on my machine. Both of them are ne2k-pci. While
one of the card connects to the internal network, the other one is
connected to the internet. Till recently, one of the cards was a realtek
8139 and the other ne2k-pci. My /etc/network/interfaces had entries like

iface eth0 inet static
  address...

iface eth1 inet dhcp

Correspondingly /etc/modules.conf had these entries:

  alias eth0 ne2k-pci
  alias eth1 8139too

As now both of them are ne2k-pci, I changed the /etc/modules.conf as

  alias eth0 ne2k-pci
  alias eth1 ne2k-pci

But, now machine cannot connect to the internet through dhcp. How does
one go about setting the interfaces when one or more cards are
identical? man interfaces did not help me :-(

Regards,
