If you are using DHCP, you usually do not want to specify your name 
servers. (DNS1)

Also, your default route should point to your gateway to the 
Internet. If you are using a firewall/router, it should point to 
that address.

You may also want to look at /etc/resolv.conf and see what name 
server(s) you have listed.

I don't remember if you said, gut is your problem that you can not 
connect using host names, but you can using IP addresses?

Also, is the network service running, or the NetworkManager service 
running? Because the way you have ifcfg-eth0, it does not look like 
NetworkManager is controlling it.

service network status
service NetworkManager status
