Well, I don't think I qualify, but I'll take a shot at it.

Let's start with the /etc/hosts file.  What does yours have in it?  It
should look something like mine:

127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost
192.168.2.2     bobcat.bobcatos.com     bobcat

It might also be interesting to see the contents of
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1.  Also your
/etc/modprobe.conf would be interesting.

Out of curiosity, why eth1?  What's going on with eth0?

Cheers,
