Solved Network devices in conflict?

Hello friends,
Let me apologize if this question does not belong here.
I have two boxes with Intel 1000 GT NIC in each of them connected to an unmanaged switch at home. Whenever I turned on the second box, the network connection to the first box would drop. I have checked that two have different MAC address, and are assigned with different IP addresses. If the second box is turned off, the connection to the first box would come back.
At the moment, I don't know what else could be wrong... Could you help? Thank you.
 
Hello James,
I found out why after a few hours of testing... I setup two NICs as failover to each other (in the same box) and even after one of the NIC was subsequently moved to another box, the original box and NIC still retain the failover setting.... As soon as I reset the network setting on the original box, everything went back to normal. Thanks anyway ;)
