I call it 'eth1' -- I am a little confused whether you mean 'it used to |
| 13 |
work' or you 'use it to work' on a private subnet perchance. |

That should be possible. If the second interface is to be on a |
| 18 |
seperate subnet, it's so easy to do this that it's almost trivial. All |
| 19 |
you have to do is to assign a private ip address and plug it in to the |
| 20 |
private network, and you'll have two devices, on private, one public, |
| 21 |
and your computer can even function as a 'gateway' or 'router' if you |
| 22 |
want it to. |

|

Is that what you are trying to do? |
