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.
