Since you just bought them, I assume you bought 3 of the same card. And I
also assume the old cards were whatever was laying around. Unless you know
how your motherboard numbers things, picking which is card one, and which is
card two can be non-intuitive. :-) Therefore, shut down, and swap all the
cards. Come up with a console (monitor and keyboard) and autodetect LAN
and WAN. If your DMZ is still called OPT1, your can auto that. If not,
skip it. Go into the LAN port and assign the DMZ to the card that is left.
Done.
Note: A backup config is always a good thing to have around... Not just
for changes.
