Network doesn't work

I have two net cards, eth0 and eth1, that they are both working and operating.
ifconfig says that they are both UP, and this is my rc.conf network part:

lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
eth1="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0 eth1)

But /etc/rc.d/network restart, or stop and then start (obviously from root) fail.
I tried to connect my net cable first on eth0, then on eth1, but is the same., both fails.
Obviously the router have a dhcp server.

With another pc (this) works.
Any suggestions ?

If you run dhcpcd eth0 and dhcpcd eth1 does this fix the problem ?

Re: Network doesn't work

The network init script will return [FAIL] if any of the interfaces fail. It doesn't mean all of them have failed. Can you confirm that you do not have a connection after the init script fails?

Also, I may be wrong here, but I get the impression that you're connecting both interfaces to the same router. If so, that is unnecessary. Decide which one you want to use, and disable the other.
