Hi Andy,


  The cards are different models; eth0 is a built-in and eth1 is a no name (with no jumpers). I did not have a chance to check the motherboard or BIOS for IRQ settings. 

  I'm going to spend some time on it this weekend, let you know how it goes.

Victor,

Are the cards identical model?

Or are they different brand/Model??

Do they have jumpers to allow you to re-assign the memory allocation??

Most times, new cards do not have IRQ conflicts any more but memory overlap.

Using a different brand name most times will work if they don't have 
jumpers to re-assign the memory.
