Ethernet problems

[Sean]

*takes stab*

Your nameserver isnt working right or your dhcp isnt working right (which
maybe related to a nameserver problem depending on how your getting your
nameserver information.) 

Also make sure you have a line like:
append ="ether =0,0,eth0  ether=0,0,eth1"
in your /etc/lilo.conf file. (if not add it at the top and rerun lilo. 6.1
will autodetect the 2nd nic card, its more of a precaution than anything
else.) 

If those are all working correctly, disable routed
(/etc/rc.d/init.d/routed). It might be timing out looking for a server to
grab routing tables from especially if someone else has it configured on  
the network.
