For the sake of clarification:
INTERNET <------> [ Router / Host A ] <-------> [ Host B ]
eth0 eth1 eth0
192.0.0.0 10.0.0.0 10.0.0.0

The first question that comes to mind is whether or not it *ever*
worked prior to the "ifconfig eth1 down; ifconfig eth1 up"? That is,
was the NIC up in the first place?
If the setup works fine, then Host B restarts and isn't able to
connect, a possible troubleshooting tip is to run tcpdump on Host A on
eth1 (tcpdump -i eth1) and also on Host B and see what is going on.
