Hans, how've  you been?
When you say to

do you mean to change the file names, or swap the contents? I suppose it
wouldn't matter but for the DEVICE=eth0 statement. Would you also change
just the DEVICE=eth0 statement as well?
What if the file name and the DEVICE=eth0 statement contradict eachother,
just curious. :)

BTW, I think I know why starting up the IP of the added nic failed. When I
installed, there was only one nic. The firewall config when listing "allow
incoming" only had SSH checked.
I realized this when I did the reinstall with 2 nics and both DHCP and SSH
were checked. Ooops. I guess I didn't really need to reinstall afterall.
