Thanks dude, it helped me. if i configure the NICs with IPs belonging to different subnets, I get ping working locally. I can see multiple routes for different subnets in NETSTAT too. Now i assume that in order to configure the NICs with the same NETWORK and make them working i need to configure the System as router.
Anyways, for now Thanks for your help ..
