Installed second NIC; now first is screwed up - help

[Don]

More Info:

When I ping an INET site, it seems to be trying to use the SECOND NIC (my
internal interface) instead of the FIRST NIC (me external interface).

Looks like installing a second NIC messed up the routing tables?  Can anyone
tell me how to direct INET requests through my proper NIC - I assume I have
to hard set a route?

=======================================

Relatively new Fedora Core 3 box.  I have one NIC installed on the external
(internet) interface.  Installed a second NIC for my internal interface;
then my problems started.

1) destroyed /etc/hosts; I had to rebuild it
2) destroyed /etc/resolv.conf; I had to rebuild it
3) For whatever reason, decided to make eth0 now eth1 and vice versa - I
think I have it straightened out.

Now when I ping other machines (or the same machine) on the current network,
it pings fine.  When I try to ping an internet site, it hangs for a while
and then tells me, for example:

Ping: unknown host: yahoo.com

Thanks,
Don
