If I understand what you were trying to do, your routing probably prevented that from working (unless, of course, you changed). What you could do is leave both cards up, put them both on your internal network and try pinging the eth0 address (192.168.0.4) from your windows box. I think that even if all traffic for your internal network is routed through eth1, pinging the eth0 card will work in this case. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. The other thing you could try is to change the routing so that traffic for your internal network routes through eth0. Then the ping test to 192.168.0.4 should work.
