Ahh... you are running an RPM'd kernel I'll bet with a RAM disk. well, since you are going to be setting up IP Masq, you might as well get your kernel compile out of the way now.
Get 2.2.18 and compile with with firewall support (and all the fw mods) as well as aliasing. Don't forget to compile in your network drivers.

> rtl8139 & 3c509 are default drivers for Red Hat 6.2 I believe the 3c509 is compiled & the rtl8139 is a module but don't quote me.

Don't quote you? Is this your machine or not? =)
Say: /sbin/lsmod
Those list the modules. Everything else that is supported is compiled in.

Yikes. Then you have some problems. What happens if you only bring up one interface at a time (only eth0 and then only eth1). It sounds as if your second card is being goofy.

Red Hat 6.2 is your distribution (or distro for short).
