To summarize what I see:
Your nic gets assigned as eth1 by the kernel. If this changes, see man
interfaces; there's a get-mac-address.sh whereby you can set up
interfaces by mac address.
interfaces configures eth1 using dhcp (the other options are ignored).
If you wish to use static, change dhcp to static. Dhcp is assigning
this interface 192.168.111.2
The routing table is routing network 192.168.111.0 to a gateway of
192.168.111.1 (I'm assuming that this is the ip of your firewall box).
Your hosts file contains your hostname at 192.168.1.1 and I think this
is the crux of the problem.
I've never used a hardware firewall (I've always been on dial-up) nor
dhcp. I don't know how to have your NIC setup with dhcp but have an
entry for that NIC in /etc/hosts. A lot of people on this list use dhcp
so hopefully someone jumps in and tells you how to use it consistantly.
Barring that, I would suggest:
fix /etc/hosts so that the 192.168.1.1 is changed to
192.168.111.2.
fix interfaces to take out the extraneouse options.
Good luck,
Doug.
