Start by showing the contents of /etc/network/interfaces.
Then find out whether a DHCP client daemon is already running. If you
installed with DHCP (the default) and then edited /e/n/i but didn't stop
dhclient beforehand, then ifdown won't know to kill dhclient and you'll
have to kill it by hand (or reboot).
ps auxw | egrep 'dhclient|dhcpcd'
kill if necessary
ifdown eth1
edit /etc/network/interfaces if necessary
ifup eth1
If this doesn't work, then show the output of "ip addr show eth1"
and the network-relevant parts of dmesg (e.g. "dmesg | grep eth" is
often a good start).
