Hey

If you're connecting two boxes with a single cable their is no dhcp,
so you're networkcard doesn't recieve any ip adress info. You'll have
to change ifcfg-eth1 to something like this:

DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=none
BROADCAST=192.168.0.255
IPADDR=192.168.0.109
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet

manually assing two ip-adresses (one for each box) and use the same
netmask and restart your network
