Hello,

are both interfaces in the same network? If not, maybe something
with the DHCP-Server connected to your eth0 is wrong?
Are other DHCP-Clients in the same network running properly?

I am sorry, I will not be able to answer those question as my networking experience is very primitive. 
but I can give the following info:

using cat5 cables
from adsl modem/router to eth1 in the debian box testing/2.6.13
from  eth0 in debian to a switch
from the switch to a w2k box

so, maybe I can say, both interfaces are not in the same network,
eth1 is the external
eth0 is the internal

as with the DHCP server/clients, not sure even how to go about them, I started reading the man pages and was lost totally without knowing what the big picture is and how the packages fill in, not to mention discouraged  with the looooong pages.
