Hi
I have a network running consisting of a hub,custom made hardware and my pc.
The custom made hardware is essentially a mini computer with a motherboard, linux kernel, power supply and pci video decoder.
The hardware has two network interfaces. The network configuration(web based) interface and a server(web based) interface.
I can ping the addresses of these two interfaces(config 192.168.99.15 server 192.168.99.255) but i cannot access the server interface. I can also ping my pc 192.168.99.3 The subnet mask for all devices is 255.255.255.0 Everything in the network is connected via ethernet straight cables.

You should not use 192.168.99.255 as this is broadcast IP of your network. And also why did you assign that 2 interface (config 192.168.99.15 server 192.168.99.255) with the IP within same subnet?

There should be no problem with having both NICs on the same IP subnet.
However, the broadcast address will certainly cause problems.

Usually if a computer got 2 network cards, it's usually configured as a router with each interface connecting to different subnets. IP forwarding is then enabled on the computer to make it as router. That's why I'm not sure why you have hardware's 2 IPs on same network, interested to know about it..
Also please check any firewall blocking on the network or computer.
Hope helps..

He only has 2 interfaces on the same subnet, because one interface is for Administration/configuration, while the other is for the server itself.

Also, double-check that both interfaces have the correct default gateway settings.
