Linux Networking

OK, here is the situation: I have 2 Network Interface Cards in my older computer. I have Linux (Red Hat 9) running on the computer. I want one NIC to take the internet connection and one to send it through to the new computer. For some reason, Linux won't let me do this. I've tried making a bridge using the brctl command and all that did was disable both NIC's. I got the network to work when it was Windows OS's on both computers, so I know it's not the cables. I actually rigged a crossover cable. If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated.
