Well, pull the eth0 NIC out of the system (check the MAC address with
ifconfig; it should also be printed on the NIC somewhere; that will help
identify it). Then reboot. The existing NIC should then become eth0. And you
can check to see if the 2nd NIC is working that way.
Might be easier to just use a non-3Com NIC as eth1; less confusing that way,
figuring out which board is which. NetGear NICs are only about $25 or so,
and use a tulip driver. Not a requirement, just a suggestion.

So eth0 has a gateway of .19 (the router), and eth1 has a gateway of .2? And
you want to forward from eth1 to eth0?
