It sounds like this machine had more than one interface already before you
added the new card?  If so, then I doubt what I'm about to tell you will be
helpful, but you can restrict NetBackup to one interface by adding the
following line to the bp.conf:

REQURED_INTERFACE = <hostname in DNS of the IP bound to the desired
interface>

Other than that, I'm afraid I'm no help.
