    Hello,

    How are your network cards set up? Am I right in thinking that eth1 is
    your connection to your router, and eth0 is your connection to the
    switch? A dump of /etc/network/interfaces would help here. You seem to
    be trying to start dhcpd3, which is a dhcp server. Have you assigned the
    interface it is running on a static ip? I suspect that one of your
    interfaces is misconfigured in /etc/network/interfaces.

    Pete

 after changeling the file /etc/network/interfaces, I was able to bring up the downed eth* but why the relative dhcp package did not do this like it did with the up eth* on boot-up time?
 my /etc/network/interfaces now looks like this
   auto lo
 iface lo inet loopback
 auto eth0
 iface eth0 inet static
         address 192.168.1.101
         netmask 255.255.255.0
 auto eth1
 iface eth1 inet dhcp
