Replying to my own stupid posting. I finally tried sys-unconfig and 
while doing so saw a suspiscious message on the screen telling me that 
the ipaddress I wanted to give my second NIC is already being used by 
another machine on the network. :-( I tried another ipaddress and it 
works like a charm!

Thanks a lot!

Andreas
