The ping here shows it working fine.

This shows eth0 still plugged in, which means it picked up the IP via
dhcp.

If you've unplugged the physical cable, and told wicd to try and use
eth1/wireless you have to give it a moment to pick up the IP.  If you
want to use non dynamic, then you need to set an IP in the 192.168.0.x
range, something like 192.168.0.101.
