None of the 2 nics is a gigabit... :-((

Maybe I didn't explain well myself, sorry.
My principal aim is simply to share the same directory over the two
networs: everything else is unessential. They can also be invisible to each
other.
What I got with my config is that my shared dir is accessible on eth1 (where
I just allow 3 IPs), but it is not on eth0 (my laptop).
