you need to give us a lot more information than that.. are they on the same network? same ip address?? maybe you actually want to be looking at a bonded pair of nics? without your topology information, we really can't comment.

and please remove the silly large fonts... thanks.

ok, well as above, i'd suggest looking at bonding them to a single logical interface. if you still wish to have different IP addresses, then just add them both to the single bond0 interface that will result.
