This could be easily caused by putting the same IP address in both clients.
When #2 comes online, an IP address conflict is detected and both machines
will turn off their IP stacks...
It could also be a hardware problem, where you have a bad NIC in #2 and it
is in stuck in streaming mode(continously transmitting). It can also be
caused by bad cabling.

Subject: [STN] Cable problems
Hi
I have an 486DX4-100 8mb with 2 3c509s as an STN router connected to my
cablemodem. With one client everything works fine, but as soon as client no.
2 comes online on the netwerk the whole internet connection goes downe. I
reboot the STN server, it gets an IP from the cable DHCP server but from the
network I can ping to the external IP of the STN router so that connection
is fine but I can't ping to the 'outside'. How can I solve this, and what
causes this problem?
Regards,
Martijn
