Your Network Range overlaps.

If you have more than one interface and no router on (one) of them, you MUST use -seed (on the one which doesn't have the router) and set the network information by hand that the ranges are relatively small (one number per Mac is a good start) and DO NOT OVERLAP!
What you do with the zone information is upon you (different or the same).

Learn the two most important things of networking and routing (for what ever protocol you are using):

- Different NICs have to get different network numbers [1]
- All NICs together on one "cable" must have different adresses [1]

[1] there are rare and special cases in which this is not always true
