I think this is a routing prob, because 212.74.140.206 should know that
212.74.140.203..5 is behind gateway 212.74.140.201

I had a problem with two NIC's both on the same subnet and was told that was
a no-no. So, I changed the third octal of the second NIC so something
different. For example:

eth0 192.168.1.254
eth1 192.168.2.254

Now both of the NIC's work, though I had to modify other aspects of my
network to accomodate this change.
