Well I would check your /etc/modules.conf file for those entries.
What do you get if you run `lsmod` ?

Check your /etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-ethx config files to make sure they look
ok, then do an `service network restart`, to totally restart your
network and stuff.

You are best to do this from the local tty.
Config your eth0 to a private IP eg 192.168.1.1 static address, kill
your dhcp service for now and work on you eth1 config.

The paths I've given are RH not Mand, so they maybe a little different.

Remember each eth dev needs to be config on differnet networks ie
netmask=255.255.255.0 for eth0 and 255.255.255.252 probably for eth1.

Hope this helps...
