If you have installed the ipmasq package, it may be causing the problems. Ipmasq is usually run fairly early in the startup procedure, after your ethernet card has been set up; if you configure a second ethernet card you will have problems using it until you run ipmasq again. Try running 'ipmasq' as root; if that fixes things, either invoke it from within whichever file is setting up eth1, or add another link to /etc/rc2.d (or wherever) to run /etc/init.d/ipmasq after eth1 has been configured.
