Need help with route


I'm trying to get two network cards to go out the same gateway, but I'm having problems and feel like I'm missing something. I have a static ip on eth0 and another static ip on eth1. I can't get the internet on eth1, but I can on eth0. When I flip the ip addresses of eth0 and eth1, I can't get the internet on eth0. I've tried different things with route, nothing really seems to work. Any suggestions?

Code:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref  Use Iface
xxx.xxx.xxx.112 *               255.255.255.248 U     0      0      0 eth0
xxx.xxx.xxx.112 *               255.255.255.248 U     0      0      0 eth1
192.168.5.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0      0 eth2
localnet        *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0      0 eth3
loopback        *               255.0.0.0       U     0      0      0 lo
default         xxx.xxx.xxx.113 0.0.0.0         UG    1      0      0 eth0

You can try this:
Code:
route add -net xxx.yyy.zzz.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0
Fill in your network address for eth1 that you want to route through eth0, which has an active internet connection. Post back results.

Thanks, I seem to have got it working. I deleted my default route through eth0, added a new default route through eth1, and and added some new firewall rules, and it worked, but its still not what I'm looking for.
