Gene - we have, I think, established that your set-up doesn't work the way 
predicted.

The one thing that looks very different to me is the sticking of all three 
interfaces in one line like that.  I have always had them separate, each in 
its own section.  Also you have:
address 127.0.0.1
netmask 255.0.0.0
which I haven't sen before.
I can't see they would matter, but something does.

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
# auto eth0

iface eth1 inet static
        address 192.168.0.2
        netmask 255.255.255.0
