You cannot have the same ip on 2 NICS. Just put the ip on the one you want
and disable the others. It is usually not a good idea to have two nics on
the same machine unless it is a router or something like that. Using 2 nics
on the same network will just cause problems unless you are teaming/load
balancing them with 3rd party tools.
