OK, here is the situation: I have 2 Network Interface Cards in my older computer. I have Linux (Red Hat 9) running on the computer. I want one NIC to take the internet connection and one to send it through to the new computer. For some reason, Linux won't let me do this. I've tried making a bridge using the brctl command and all that did was disable both NIC's. I got the network to work when it was Windows OS's on both computers, so I know it's not the cables. I actually rigged a crossover cable. If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated.

I assume you're trying to make a firewall/router kinda thing out of it?
First off make sure with ifconfig that you can see both cards, that'll tell you if you've got the drivers working right.
From there, you need to setup the routing. It's not too tough with Redhat 7.1 and later as you can use iptables.
