Comcast only works intermittently


Debian Testing, with Comcast cable internet connected to eth1, and an internal network connected to eth0.

Comcast was working fine, until I reinstalled Debian to fix some things. Now, whenever I turn on my computer, there is about a 15% chance that it will actually connect. If it connects, I'm fine until I turn on the computer tommorow. If it does not, I get the following sequence in syslog:
Code:
* /etc/network/options is deprecated.
Setting up IP spoofing protection...done (rp_filter).
Enabling packet forwarding...done.
Reconfiguring network interfaces...ifup: interface lo already configured

Exiting.

Failed to bring up eth1.
SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable
Failed to bring up eth0.
done.
I kept the previous config files, and restored the settings, but I think I may have missed something.

/etc/network/interfaces:
Code:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.1
/etc/dhclient.conf:
Code:
send host-name "username@comcast.com";
(Note: username is actually my real username.)

Any clue as to the cause of this?
