Since i moved to linux 3 days ago, and i'm in this completely new ground, and now i'm faced with a stupid problem:
I am trying to make SUSE 10.1 become the gateway for my WinXP laptop using Ethernet cards, i was successful in creating a network connection between both PCs, but on SUSE, the stupid thing is that i am not able to make both NICs (eth0 and eth1) work simultaneously, coz whenever one is working, the other just shuts down. check below for the snapshot, the "X" mark next to the VIA (eth0) means that this is the NIC that is enabled, if i click on eth1, the "X" moves next to it and other shuts down, and so will my internet connection.
