The use of "eth1" suggests that you have more than one Ethernet-port
in your server (the first one usually is eth0). Are you sure you have
plugged the cable into the correct port? When it's fine and dandy the
port is shown as UP in ifconfig, like:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 52:54:00:e2:58:72
          inet addr:X.Y.168.78  Bcast:X.Y.168.127  Mask:255.255.255.192

          inet6 addr: fe80::5054:ff:fee2:5872/64 Scope:Link
          inet6 addr: 2001:X:Y:100::78/64 Scope:Global
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
