            Hmm, well I'd certainly expect re1 and re2 to behave the same there then.

              OK clean install, still the same!

              Ive ordered a dual Intel NIC off of ebay so will see how that goes, I've been meaning to get multiport cards anyway. Ive got loads of PCI-E cards kicking around but no PCI, otherwise I would have just swapped cards out.

              Thanks for your assistance.

                  And it's just whichever card is configured as OPT1 does not work? Weird.

                        It's old but should work fine. I can only think there must be some rogue configuration going on, something left in the config file from previous settings. But if that was the case the clean install should have resolved it.
                        The other thing is some low level conflict between the cards but I would expect that to follow the card not the assigned interface.
