No switch and I've tried another cable and still nothing.

ifconfig eth1
eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:02:e3:18:40:a3  
          inet addr:192.168.61.50  Bcast:192.168.61.255
Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

But this seems to be illusory

When I go ifdown/ifup, I get an overrun error reported

          inet addr:192.168.61.50  Bcast:192.168.61.255
