Problem with Internet connection in 2003 Server

I have a situation that is slightly beyond my level of understanding, but I need to sort it.

situation is thus:

1x server with 2 nics in
nic 1 called hub
nic 2 called internet

nic 1 is assigned the following
IP address 192.168.1.100
s/net 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1
dns 192.168.1.100

nic 1 is connected to my office switch

nic 2 is set to suto and is connected to a load balancing internet router (Linksys RV042) which has the IP address 192.168.0.1

connected to the RV042 are 2 internet services - a cable connection and a satellite connection, with the box set to load balance between the 2 connections.

If I have just the cable internet connection connected to the RV042 then everything works fine, pings work, dns resolves, the internet works on the workstations on the LAN.

If I connect the satellite as well then the internet still works and dns still resolves correctly, but ping stops working.

If I have just the satellite connected then nothing works.

I thought this pointed to the satellite being faulty, but if I plug that straight into my PC then everything works fine.

I'm struggling to think what's wrong with the setup, I really need the satellite to start working.

Any help gratefully appreciated.
