Yes I have two cards.  I thought of that and called AT&T (isp) and asked
which card was registered for connection.  It was eth0.  

Is there a way to bring up eth0 with an internal address so I can try to
ping another computer.  I tried to bring it up by issuing

ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.4 up

This address belongs to another box this is currently down.  I decided
to try that address because it was already set up in the /etc/hosts
file.  I brought down the eth1 card and tried to ping 192.168.0.2 which
is my windows box.  eth1 could ping it, no luck on the eth0

It looks like you have two cards -- are they the same kind of card?
If so, it is possible that the BIOS switched them around so that what
was eth0 is now eth1 and vice versa.  Might that be the case?
