nt and 2k only support 2 cards if they're on the same subnet - or I should say
they work most of the time... But there are bugs in the windows stacks (as if
that weren't news). The most blatant one has to do with broadcasts.
Specifically, a broadcast sent over one card has the return IP of the other
card.
 Now Linux OTOH,  works just fine (that shouldn't be news either) with two
network cards in my experience.
