ethernet port problem

hi,
i have a fedora core 3 machine, but have the following network problem:
one of the ethernet ports (eth1) appears to be up and running but the
machine has no connectivity if just eth1 is connected:
here is the route:
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
205.150.209.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0
eth0
205.150.209.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0
eth1
169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0
eth1
default mci209.3z.ca 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0
eth0

i wander since this configuration shows eth0 to be configured
differently might be the reason that i can only connect to the internet
using eth0 and not eth1.

i dont know much about linux networking but am trying to learn; maybe
someone could help me with this:
this is the ifconfig:
