Chris, Why two NIC's in your LMDK workstation, I mean, what is the purpose for this setup? If you really need two network interfaces in one workstation, which I assume is only connected to the LAN and using NAT (or some other means of IP masq) to get out on the Internet through your gateway/firewall machine, you might need to set the second card up on a different subnet. Check your mask too......
