Herman,
I have the exact same network card combo here. (two 3c905b's).
I have the same information in /etc/conf.modules also. Mine works fine.
One NIC (eth0) goes to my Cable modem and the second NIC (eth1) goes to my
hub for my local network.
What output does ifconfig give for eth0 and eth1? What are you trying to
ping? Some more information on the structure of the network and how
everything is connected would be helpful.
Mike
