You did not say what brand of NIC the tulip cards are, if Linksys, the yellow LED might indicate a 100Mb/s link. What does mii-tool tell you about eth2? If you switch cables between eth1 and eth2 and correct the IP addresses accordingly, does eth2 work? If so, look for a cable or switch port problem.

Did you move the cables as well? This sounds like, at least, the 101 and 103 subnets are "connected" together at the switch. I noticed your other post concerning the NMI. Has kudzu stabilized as far as the internal NIC? What is in your /etc/modules.conf? Bob...
