Cannot connect to router setup page

I've got a Linux Fedora box with two NIC cards. One of the cards is set up
with a fixed adddress 174.xxx.xxx.xxx on 255.255.255.0, the other one is on
DHCP. The DHCP one is connected to a router which is connected to the
Internet, while I use the fixed IP NIC for shares.
I can access the Internet, but I can't access the router's home page (I can
access it from a Windows box though). I do not see the reason. I've tried
disabling the firewall, but still the same.
I also have problems accessing some web pages, for example www.google.com.
I'm using Mozilla.

Are you able to ping the router interface from your linux machine?

x86

SuSE Linux 9.0-Intel Pentium M 1.40GHz-512 MB-40
GB-14"-1024x768-4.5-4.9 lbs-CD-RW/DVD-ROM-Intel PRO/1000 Gigabit

Since your posting IP is in 212. range, who assigned you that public 174.
IP? For a LAN you should use IPs in private ranges to avoid any public
conflicts (10.x.x.x, 172.16.x.x-172.31.x.x, 192.168.x.x).

Are both nics on same subnet on same physical network? If so, you likely
have routing conflicts and need to read Adv-Routing HOWTO.

When having network issues, it helps if you provide output of
/sbin/ifconfig and '/sbin/route -n'.

Sorry, I wasn't quite clear.
There're two subnets, 172.16.x.x (not 174.xxx, mea culpa) used for shares
and 192.168.x.x on DHCP used for connecting to Internet through a router.

They're physically installed on the same computer, but they're supposed to
be on separate networks.

The whole idea is:
I have two computers, each with two NICs installed. One pair of NICs (one
from each PC) is used for shares, the 172.16.x.x net and the other pair of
NICs connected to the router for Internet connection.
