OK...Some random thoughts

You have 2 NICS. Are you sure you are configuring the correct one? Could eth1 
be the device to use?

Your NIC is on irq5 is anything else using irq5 ? An Interrupt conflict can 
cause funny things to happen.
(KDE ControlCentre>Information>Interrupts will show you)
If there is a conflict, play with your BIOS settings or move the card to a 
different slot (if it is not built in) Disabling unused devices in the BIOS 
will also cause Interrupt lines to be be reconfigured. Also set the BIOS 
parameter PnpAwareOS=No

What do you see if you type
'route' in a root terminal?
Is the default route set up to use that interface?  If not then delete the 
current default route with 'route del default' and create a new one with
'route add default dev eth0'
