I'm not sure if this was a requirement in earlier kernels or just what I had 
to do to get it to work (the append line requires that the nic drivers be 
part of the kernel).  Right before the boot line in lilo, I added:

append="reserve=0x200,32 ether=10,0x200,eth0 ether=3,0x300,eth1"

I used the "reserve" keyword to protect against hardware probes that 
conflicted with this device.  See the Linux-Howto for more info.

Again, not sure, but you may want to try spacing the addresses out further if 
possible.
