   Bingo! I assigned 192.168.1.10 to eth0 in the Linux machine, then rebooted    
   the eCS one with its DHCP default: it again got 192.168.1.105 assigned to    
   lan0 but now there's no conflict and both computers connect simultaneously    
   to the outside word!   
      
   So, it was a DHCP mistake/bug that caused the same address to be assigned    
   to two different machines, with Linux grabbing priority somehow regardless    
   of the order of assignments.    
      
   Since this is all magic to me, I doubt that I can dig any further by    
   myself, but if anyone wants me to test things, just let me know: these two    
   computers will stay side by side in this configuration for a while.   
      
   Thanks to all.
