As said by Tixy, disable anything but 'lo', for example by "commenting 
out" (a.k.a. putting an '#' in front of each line). Your interfaces 
should look like this:

,----[ /etc/network/interfaces ]
| # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
| # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
|
| # The loopback network interface
| auto lo
| iface lo inet loopback
|
| #auto eth1
| #iface eth1 inet dhcp
`----
