Thanks. This box is a samba machine. I want to allow local users and remote 
users to access it. I have 2 NIC on this box. eth0 is on a public 
IP(12.73.1.5) and eth1 is on the local IP(192.168.1.5). But how do i set the 
gateway? Can i specify the public gateway for eth0(12.73.1.1) and the 
gateway for eth1 (192.168.1.1) and as for the gateway in 
/etc/sysconfig/network i will remove it. Will this work?

nb: above IPs are example. They are not my real IPs
